When a electric tram or train goes through flooded rails does the water become electrified?

Yes, when an electric tram or train travels through flooded rails, the water can become electrified if there is a fault in the electrical system or if the water comes into contact with live electrical components. Water is a conductor of electricity, so if electric current flows through it, it can pose a serious risk of electric shock. However, in well-designed systems, safety measures are in place to minimize such risks. It's always crucial to exercise caution around flooded areas near electric rail systems.
