LATL is the UnDisputed Domain of The Best Overhead Trolley Wire
Construction. But Pittsburgh is Not Far Behind -- note the
overhead construction here on 3rd and Ferry -- Very Smooth. The
BackBone wire which runs outboard of the insulators mounted to the
hangers keeps the same -- Insulators and Hangers -- perpendicular to
the contact wire under the strain of the spans that come in at an
angle~!~!~! Good 'Ol 1601 City Car in the distance, turning onto 4th
from Ferry.
