My Bridge Travels: A Photolog 1.7

The Third Rail | Location: Charleston, Massachusetts


The 'Third Rail' elements of politics are the most interesting ones. These are the topics that affect large populations and possess the capability to steer a constituency or a state or a nation in a direction, right or left, or right or wrong.

The reason to avoid contact with the third rail during bridge inspections is however understandable. The third rail carries electric current that supplies power to the subway cars. The picture below is one of the 'T' stations from the hi-rail bucket truck a couple of hours before dawn, distinctly showing the third rail.
