Not specifically third rail I think it can be used on various things, but it is referred to electrical, insulation and a number of similar tools.
That brings to mind the electrified rail, but also the contact line above...
Michael Ellis Apr 3, 2015:
Overhead or third rail Are you sure this refers to third rail? See my answer.
jeffrey engberg (asker) Apr 3, 2015:
Ice Removal Rod Maybe you could be so kind Norskpro to change your entry to Ice Removal Rod instead of anti-icer? That is the term used for the tool on the link you provided.
Norskpro Apr 2, 2015:
So it's a tool, then. I found a picture of one. Will post the reference.
jeffrey engberg (asker) Apr 2, 2015:
insulated tool The technical regulations at jbv include it in a list of other tools and devices.
"betjeningsstenger og is-støtere er sikkerhetsutstyr som bør med."
Leif Henriksen Apr 2, 2015:
No, Jeff, it is an insulated tool to remove ice from the electrical installations and cables. I have no idea what it might be called in English, though. Maybe ice crusher?

Anti-icer

From what I understand they add a product to the rail.

De-icing tool

US and UK usage is 'de-icing' for ice removal, 'anti-icing' for ice prevention.
The reference uses 'de-icing tool' for one fitted to a remotely controlled vehicle for use on overhead lines, but I feel as a generic term, it is suitable for the hand tools illustrated in Norskpro's references.
Again as a generic, it would apply to a third-rail device, but as far as I know third rail operators use anti-ice heating or de-icing fluids.
