Not something I would want to do, that is climb up to, never mind stand on the roof level of a train and thus bring myself well within the High Voltage (25Kv ?) flash over risk area, without having personally put in place some secondary safety device such as a short-circuiting pole between OHLE and rail...

I hope the overhead power was switched off!

Sure, the overhead wire (15000 V 16,7 Hz AC) was without tension and was short-circuited on both sides, ahead and behind the train. The team made a self-assurance on the roof, mounted on the catenary wire, against the risk of falling down.

The grounding of the overhead wire can be seen in picture http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=555022

Sorry, wrong! You can see the grounding on picture http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=555251
