Great perspective. Is this like the "third" rail on regular tracks?

Seems like an electrified rail line, in a vertical format though - perhaps if you bridged the gap between the two you'd get a 250 volt current.

250 volts AC will tend to put your lights out

I'm assuming it's not "hot" anymore? Just curious. :)

Yup, the power was cut some time ago. I imagine it's one of the first things that happens when a place is scrapped.

The hot rails were for 250V DC, one hot and one ground.

It's not the volts that "light you up" it's the amps.
