Akpa 4: Afɔku Tɔxɛwo: Elektrikŋusẽ ƒe Ketekemɔ Etɔ̃lia / Dziƒo Catenary Lines kple Hazmat Derailments¶

1. Electrified Third-Rail and Overhead Catenary Wires (Suburban Commuter & High-Speed Rail):
2. In many metropolitan rail corridors (such as the LIRR, Metro-North, CTA, BART, SEPTA, Network Rail Southern Region in the UK, and high-speed European lines), tracks carry 600 to 750 volts DC in a raised steel "Third Rail" running alongside the running rails, or 12,000 to 25,000 volts AC in overhead catenary wires.
3. Evacuation Rule on Third-Rail Tracks: Never step on, touch, or allow clothing to brush against the raised third rail or its fiberglass/wooden cover board (even stepping on the protective cover board can snap it onto the live 750-volt rail). Step cleanly over all rails onto the gravel shoulder. If an overhead catenary wire snaps and falls onto your car, stay inside unless a train is coming or the car is on fire; if you must evacuate because of an oncoming train, jump completely clear of the car with both feet together so your body never touches the metal car and the ground at the same time, and shuffle or hop with both feet together 30 meters (100 feet) away.
4. If a Train Collides with a Vehicle and Derails Tank Cars:
5. If a train strikes your unoccupied vehicle and freight or tank cars derail, hiss, or vent vapor clouds, immediately abandon your position and move upwind and uphill at least 800 meters (0.5 miles) away from the tracks to avoid toxic chlorine, anhydrous ammonia, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or vinyl chloride plumes.
