A pair of catenary masts seen in Horrem (on Cologne-Aachen) on 16 December
2001. They have double brackets, as they are part of a five-field backbone
span. This backbone span is also used as electrical seperation, so the brackets
have to be insulated against eachother. This might be the reason for the
unusual shape of the side clip, which has to keep some distance to the other
contact wire. One bracket in the background still carries a pulley that was
used to pull the contact wire into place.
