Can't find any catenary supported contact wire.

The cross-spans also, do not have secondary support; catenary style.

==============================================================================================

Catenary means an upper level of structural wire, to keep the contact wire as level as possible.

Nearly all high-voltage (11 KV to 50 KV) distribution uses catenary to virtually eliminate wire burns. See such on the Western coal lines and AMTRAK's Northeast Corridor, cohabitated by commuter agencies.
