[Scan-DC] Arlington responding to electrocution of two

Have you seen the one of the person on top of the electrified commuter line? He comes into contact with the catenary. I'm guessing that's 3,000 volts, but that's just a guess. I can't remember what MARC Penn Line; either 25K or 50K. When it was Pennsylvania RR, it was 25-cycle, 11,000 volts AC. That system was installed in the mid-1930s.

You choose. I don't how many are safe for workplace, etc.

Reminds me of a YouTube video I saw a few weeks ago, which shows what
happens when such a high-voltage line comes in contact with a large tree. I
can only imagine what it would do to a person.
