The trains are electric. The tracks are at ground level, electrically. As the trains move the current goes through the wheels, which make and lose contact, producing spikes on the rails. Since each wheel is on only one of the rails, the spikes one each rail are different. These spikes will tend to apply current through those across the rails which would be similar to what a Clark Zapper applies. This could be very dangerous though, the voltage of the overhead wires is probably over 1,000 volts, and a falling wire, motor failure, lightning strike or derailment could easily put lethal voltage on one of the rails.

The old 6v lantern battery with a resistor is the way to go. There is a Yahoo 
forum called microelectricitygermkiller · Batteries vs Germs that discusses 
this in depth. Laying on train tracks to get a little juice seems dicey at best.

Thanks for the post, that was very interesting......wonder if it will catch
on in other parts of the world that have those kinds of rails.

"Here is an amusing story that is very interesting for us who are
familiar with Dr. Clark's zapper. Apparently, people in Indonesia have
taken to zapping themselves across railway tracks because there is an
electrical potential between them that will "zap" the body. They are
claiming relief from many ailments! See the report on ABC News here:

"Amazing how they rave how much it is helping them! But now the
authorities want to crack down on this absolutely free remedy."
