which are not in touch to coaches of train, electricity
only passes through conductors to the generators, batteries
and all lighting equipments as we use it at our home. So no

As the source used in trains is from overhead lines and it makes contact with PENTOGRAPH contactor but pentograph contactor is insulated from coaches by mounting insulator discs on the top of train..
summerising, electric train and source (i.e. 25kV dc) is electricaly not connected.. Hence no shock....

Dear Hemant bhai
Ac current have symbolic represebtation ofsin wave where the current go to its min value and max value due to which at minimum point ac current leave the person
But in dccurrent it continuosly supply curent so there is chance of get shock in dc current
So kindly understand this
