All footings are concrete and over large stretches are onpiles. .\t all angles, dead ends and special crossings, specialheavy towers are used. The span on the line is1,100 feet. At each [latrol station tlie lines are carried ihrou.^h dis-connecting switchesto allow of the lines being tested in sec-tions if necessary.
