Default Shielding 750 volt 3rd rail ?

However collecting the juice at high speeds is a problem....

WHy should it be? Whats the difference between a contact pushing onto a wire
above a train and pushing onto a rail to the side of it? Todays 3rd rail may
have problems at high speed but it was designed 100 years ago , I really can't
see this being a major problem if a completely new 3rd rail system was devised.
