If the track is fed by overhead power lines then the track is the return path for the electric current and is at earth potential.That is 0 volts

In the UK we use a Third rail system which is raised up,and to one side of the rail.This rail is laid on china insulators and has a voltage of 750volt DC:- very dangerous since if you touch it it tends to clamp muscles on to it.

Why you did not feel electric shock in electric train?

though the trains body is made up of a conductor, it is isolated from sources, feeders and electrical circuits. observe the pentograh ( a stand like structure on an electrical engine that touches the electrical feeder or conctor overhead ). it is mounted on a ceramic insulator, all the parts connceted to it are isolated from the train's body. these insulators will completely neutralize the voltage stress on trains body. so, you dont experience any shock.
