   Easiest to do in Chicago where there is no protective cover on the   
   third rail.  Ride the Pink, Brown (Ravenswood), Yellow (Skokie) or   
   Purple (Evanston) lines to the first station on ground level and walk   
   to the nearest street with a grade crossing.  Warning, this could   
   hurt.
