I often wondered WHY modern CTA still insists upon, and retains, the highly dangerous, lethal, (to track walkers and workers, employees, ESPECIALLY in Chicago's notable frequent snowy and wet, inclement weather periods) fully umnprotected 3rd rails and related drop-sled shoe contact system.


Heh, heh. that's the easiest question to answer. We in Chicago like to say the only people who seem to worry about our exposed third rail are people from everywhere else. It's not worried about here, rest assured. Like those who question our flat junctions on the "L".
