Dom's right..

The third rail is actually a track (that's how it got it's name) that provides the DC 750 volt to the train via the catching arm of the train (Driving Trailer).

The third rail is position in a reverse side and is covered with the cover that we all see, unless you have the chance to 'bend down' to see.. hehe..

Anyway we can see the catching arms in any stations.

Yes, NEL.

I saw that too. I asked the guy taking care of the train (what's the term?) what that was for. He said it was just a box of signalling and emergency evacuation cables. He told me to look closely and see if the box was on the floor or suspended and it was on the floor. You are not the only one, k3nshiboi. Hehe.
