A solution for a non-existent problem. Chicago's rapid transit system has existed for 130 years with uncovered third rail. Whether elevated, subway, or ground level, the right-of-way is verboten for trespassers. Since third rail shoes are gravity actuated, it would no doubt require modification to every car in the fleet if the third rail was covered. |
