I think Kolkata Metro must be the only tracks in India to have a third energized rail.

@Jitendra.. that's right... wondering how cows and animals avoid the third track. Are there any known accidents?

@Aseem: Why would cows and animals enter the Metro network in the first place? The entire line is elevated or underground apart from this carshed I guess.

Bangalore Metro will get its third rail system functional in a months time.
