In model railroading, a "third rail" refers to a method of supplying electric power to the trains. This system involves using a separate rail, typically positioned alongside or between the two standard tracks, which provides electrical power to the train's electric motors. This design is common in urban transit systems, such as subways and light rail, and allows for the train to draw power without the need for overhead wires.
