If you fall into a train track would you have to touch both the rails to be electrocuted?
It is generally unsafe to be too close to railroad tracks except at marked crossings and with your full attention for oncoming trains. Do not play around train tracks at all. Standard train tracks do not carry significant power, you would not get electrocuted if you touch either or both rails. A subway train however would fry you promptly. Such was the fate of Mister Green in 'The Taking of Pelham 123.'

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.
