Is that to minimise skin loss in steel track ?

UK Third rail is, of course, DC, and I once spent an idle moment calculating the loss if 50Hz AC were to be used with magnetic iron conductors.  I think I came to the conclusion a 1MW train could probably travel a few hundred metres before it lost its power supply.

Can someone say whether my recollections are correct, please?
