Folks waiting for the Light rail probably thought that the conductor and I were nuts, jumping off the platform and crossing the tracks. Safety First.Perhaps some "fringe effects" from the live wire above coming down the shortest path to ground, especially if your feet were up upon the grounded rail, heh? Probably too wide a gap, too much resistance, and too low of a voltage to for a measurable differential from head to toe, heh?

Can you suggest some sites (or other sources) that can provide me with maps/diagrams of rail lines through and around the Denver area?
Thanks
