The resurgence of D.C. Rail Transit in major metropolitan areas, and resulting possible stray current effects, are of major concern to operating transit companies and local utilities. Uninsulated, or poorly insulated rail systems can produce a high degree of stray current leakage into the earth. The resultant effects to buried metallic installations can be detrimental or, if prolonged, catastrophic. This paper will address methods for prevention of stray current leakage into the earth, and possible corrective actions to eliminate or reduce, existing stray current leakage paths.
