and lived?

Felt the need to correct some mis-statements here...
First of all to James H... No need for name-calling. Secondly, no third rails are anywhere near to 5400 volts. That is a far too strong DC current - 3rd rails as a rule are DC. A third rail is commonly around 660vDC - go higher and you seriously risk arcing. Thirdly, James, the under-running third rail you describe with a cap, has a wood or plastic cap - a metal cover on a electrically charged object wouldn't do much good. Also, there are over-running third rails as well, such as those on the LIRR where the locomotive's shoe rides on top of the third rail. In many early US electrifications on trolley operations, and today in England in a similar manner, center running third rails such as those on a "Lionel" set are used.
Now to the point and question directed here, no. I never tried it, and I do NOT intend to, and certainly suggest against it. Firstly, its an unnecessary risk, its dangerous, and you would be trespassing. Stay safe - stay away from the tracks and third rails.

I think the question should has a woman urinated on the third rail and lived. Due to biology, they would be a heck of alot closer to the rail.

no I haven't but I watched this show called MythBuster's about this dude who urinated on the third rail while holding it and was like 6 inches and it killed him. So know they suggest if your going to do that stand like a couple of feet away.

When I was alot younger someone tried to do that and fell on his back and hurt himself. I remember them coming in laughing about it but I never did figure out what a third rail was.

YOU are an absolute idiot.
The "third rail" is the electrical power line for the train. It's 5400 volts, the same voltage as a prison's electrified fence. If you hit it with a urine stream, there won't be enough of you left to sweep up with a dust pan.
Fortunately, they are covered by a downward pointing C-shaped metal cap to keep the rain off. The train's power pickup mechanism reaches under the rain cap to connect with the third rail power.
I suppose now, you're going to try pissing upward under the cap. I shouldn't have said anything then you could join the Darwin Awards (people who are too stupid to be in our gene-pool).

Pete. Fact is, when a female knows how hold her lips open so the pee hole has no restrictions, she will out distance pee any male due to having such a short little urethra. As for this third rail question; no I never peed on one.

Ron Paul has the braveness to declare what he thinks and believes. that is a uncommon high quality between our flesh pressers as we talk. Clinton lost countless help along with her long-winded non-answer to the question of could unlawful extraterrestrial beings take delivery of drivers licenses. She is extremely like her husband in spewing countless bull that no-one can decipher. Ron Paul might get hard on the 20 to 38 million unlawful alien invaders in our countrty, so he's happy with me!

I watched them bust that urban myth on mythbusters...
You can safely urinate on the 3rd rail..
