William S and list:   Not to be overlooked, is the Feeder Cable, which
was usually hung on Wooden Line Poles at the Curb.   

So, a Trolley Wire break coutd be tied off and, with Trolley Poles held
or hooked, the Car could be coasted through a Live Wire break.                                               

Way back in TWERHS Days, person or person's unknown, stole 800 feet of
overhead wire from Beulah Siding to about the top of the grade, close to
Stalh's Crossing.  Faced with an immediate need to operate, the L 10 was
stationed at Stahl's Crossing so-as-to-be available to reach down to any
car or train that may not coast uphill through the wireless stretch of
track.                                         

By substantially notching up, past the Series Points, into the upper
Parallel Points, on Horn Signal of end-of-wire, the Trolley Pole was
pulled and our North Shore cars coasted up the grade all the way to the
top.                                          

Wire was restrung but, the Catenery Suspension was not restored.
