Overhead line equipment – OLE – is the wiring and other equipment you can see above electrified railway lines. They look similar to electric pylons you see across the country.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚠️" title="Warning sign" aria-label="Emoji: Warning sign"> Our overhead wires carry 25,000 volts of electricity to power electric trains.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔋" title="Battery" aria-label="Emoji: Battery">" title="https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🗼" title="Tokyo tower" aria-label="Emoji: Tokyo tower">Overhead line equipment – OLE – is the wiring and other equipment you can see above electrified railway lines.
