I touched the 3rd rail and though it was hot I didn’t get burnt at least for now. This was not literally the rail but felt like it as I touched on a “forbidden subject” and didn’t back away from the shock. I’m not sure if this subject will cause me any residual pain but I saw a spark or two this morning. As such I think I need to lower the current before I attempt to put these sparks together again. Yet just knowing that I could touch such a subject G-D willing opens up many paths ahead even if they are near that rail.
