If you fall into a train track would you have to touch both the rails to be electrocuted?

What will happen to steel railroad tracks on a hot day if they were laid out during a cold day without gap?
The steel rails may expand due to the heat, causing the tracks to buckle or curve up. This can lead to derailments and damage to the tracks. It is important to leave gaps between rails to allow for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.
Does a train in motion contact its tracks?
Yes, train wheels remain in contact with the track at all times. The tracks support the weight of the train. They also guide the train. The wheels are shaped such that the train remains balanced on them. Any slight movement of the wheels sideways is automatically corrected so that the wheels remains exactly on the middle of the rails. If the wheels were not in contact with the track, the train would be flying.
What does paralle?

Why are sleepers laid down under the rails of the trains?
