Central California Traction Company, Key System, and parts of Sacramento Northern also used third rail power. Using a third rail for power greatly reduces the amount of copper feeder cable required. Additional cost is that third rail lines must be fenced to keep people and animals from being electrocuted by touching the third rail.
