Third rail would not be an option in areas that are subject to heavy snow or freezing rain accumulations. Also in areas where there are wildlife the right of way would have to be fenced as you wouldn't want the right of way scattered with electrocuted moose, deer, elk and bear. In areas that are subject to rock falls, mudslides and avalanches there would be constant repairs. I don't think the 3rd rail option is viable at all. Mainline railroading is not the same as suburban railroading.
