    Looks more like telegraph lines to me :)

    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.

    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.
