Ground plates are buriedin the stream wherever a crossing is made and connected to the irolky wire is No. 00 grooved section, hung nn insulators withthe General Electric Gos, special mechanical clip for this patternof wire. The feeder system consists of 13 miles of No. 0000 solid copperwire, insulated in the towns and bare on the private way. It ishung on glass insulators supported by cross arms on the side IlC. 3~-MONTOrR track circuit by four No. 00 wires: four wires are to guardagainst breakage. The overhead construction is with side poles except throughthe towns and villages, where the span construction is used. Sidepoles are 30 ft. in length, 7 in. at the top, with seamless steelbracket arms supporting clips for suspension wire, having the over-head wire supported from an eyebolt attached to the top of the suspension and puU-ofif wire is stranded galvanized iron.
