Which tracks in Johnson Avenue Yard have third rail?

• A. 3 and 4 only
• B. 2 and 3 only
• C. 1 and 4 only
• D. 1, 2, 3, 4

Answer: (D)

Third rail power is the energizing conductor used to supply electric trains, and it is dangerous to approach when live. If every track in the yard is described as having a third rail, that means the entire yard is electrified and any track could supply power to a train. Because of that, the correct understanding is that all tracks are energized, so procedures around the third rail apply to the whole yard—stay clear, use proper safety protections, and assume the rail is live unless explicitly de-energized by the proper lockout procedures. Choices that imply only some tracks have the third rail would contradict the setup showing all tracks as electrified, so the whole yard being energized is the correct interpretation.
