The Western Railway Museum is located between Fairfield and Rio Vista, California and here is a shot of an electric train near the outer end of their rail line. The museum trains are operated on a section of the original Sacramento Northern Interurban line that once ran between S.F. and Chico, in northern CA. They went to great length to exactly duplicate the original poles, overhead trolley power wire and the high voltage poles from original photos and prints. Notice that the power line is not wired nor has insulators yet. The power line is about 5 miles long. To see the insulators they will use [id=248632771] Their website is www.wrm.org
