	Independent - February 8, 2007: Third rail may help city

		Looking at an aerial map of the Second and Third Street areas of downtown Gallup, Honeyfield pointed to land just north of the present train tracks and said it would be possible for BNSF when they put in the new third rail to move the tracks about 150 to 200 feet to the north.
		BNSF will probably do this in order to keep the two rails now in existence in use during the construction of the third rail because they would not want to interrupt traffic through Gallup while the third rail is being put in.

	Gothamist: Death By Third Rail
		The third rail, long a mythic piece of the NYC subways, can be found either between or beside the running rails.
		Although, if you're advised to lie down in the ditch between the running rails in the event you find yourself on the tracks ahead of an on-coming train, that'd probably mean the third rail is never in-between the running rails on the NYC Subway system.
		It's a simple concept: if the third rail were ever between the running rails, then every single train in the system would be unable to run in that location, and someone would quickly notice that no trains were passing by that location and put the third rail back where it belongs, outside the running rails.
