In Philly there are some really neat catenary poles other than the standard K braced ,which I tried to recreate on my Layout.
One of my favorite types are what I call double insulator transmission line or splice poles. These types occur where a transmission line length ends and another length of wire begins.
On the highline at Market street in philly
High line poles on my layout
Some poles are hybrids mixtures of latice and box columns
This pict shows a custom pole which I built that is now on my layout in the Arsenal Section
It is a combination of lattice and box column with 2 phase PRR transmission lines and Peco (former Philadelphia electric)overbuild. This pole has double insulators for transmisssion line splice and a signal line splice
My All time favorites are these
North Philly... Latice offset
Chester Valley Yard .. 4 track catilever
Marcus Hook ..Super PECO overbuild
