SaveMotherEarthEDFFactorio flashbacks!
Is this kind of crossing possible with overhead power lines? Don’t see any at all here, how are these ones powered?
MentalEdgeJust fine.
The overhead line is the equivalent to a third rail, while the rails provide the earth connection.
So it can just be a continuous diamond shape above, same as the rails below.
Jumutathey usually use metal plates under the wires to make a seamless transition

Yeah! Two of the four remaining ones have been removed as part of the project. It’s kind of silly though, the other two aren’t currently slated to be removed.
SubArcticTundraThat must be difficult to maintain. Won’t it need specially made rails?
These are fairly common on railroads so they can’t be too bad on maintenance
