Electric Train Power Lines in Berwick-upon-Tweed

Hello Hello Hivians and Hivers

I was down in Berwick-upon-Tweed last year and caught a train from there coming back up to Edinburgh.

Whilst waiting for the train I got out a phone and went snappety snap snap or was it clickety click click!

The train is one of the faster ones and has that Japanese bullet type engine. It made for a good picture, but the highlight is not the train!

No indeed not... it is .. can you guess what the highlight is...??

Power Lines

This is an example of leading lines however the quest this week is for Power Lines.

So what about these fluffing power lines...?

The power lines in the photograph are a type of overhead line system called catenary, which is used to provide electricity to electric trains. It's a fascinating and vital piece of railway infrastructure and you know you are near train tracks when you see them.

The overhead power lines form a complex network of diagonals and horizontals that criss-cross the frame and satisfy the quest in my mind anyway.

They are prominent without completely dominating the photo and add a layer of industrial complexity and visual interest.

And as for shapes, we have the vertical poles supporting them and the sweeping curves of the catenary wires.
