@mattblaze@federate.social The thing I find most striking about these railroad poles is that the lines themselves are so nearly straight – there’s almost no catenary curve to them
Always wondered why that was. Short spans? Stiff wires? Extra high tension? All three?
@njvack@ruby.social I think short spans. You don’t want wind causing the wires to sway in the way of the trains.
@mattblaze@federate.social You also don’t want the wires to touch each other, right?
