Reply to comment by TiredCr0codile in Man dies after touching 3rd rail at MBTA's Downtown Crossing station by riski_click

They deenergize it for non revenue hours service I think, but you still are supposed to act like it's live otherwise you get in a bad habit. Most of the work I've done was during revenue service so it was active. I've met some people who have touched it and lived.

Due to staffing, it's pretty tough to get access during ROW these days

Yeah, I don't work on mbta projects anymore thank God, but we had several projects get cancelled around the time of the orange line shutdown due to all the staffing shortages.
