    Looks more like telegraph lines to me :)
  • semicolon835 said:
    Having worked on poles and lines like this, - these are not power lines. They could be telegraph but most likely good old telephone open wire lines. They could be control lines for the power plant but I doubt it. There is a larger cable attached to the pole below the open wire, most likely phone cable added to increase capacity but also sometimes used by the rail road.

    They are on-line.

    Ummm... let's see, the title says "telephone lines," now, I'm just saying, but that seems like a pretty good clue to me as to what these are.
