The two transmission circuits seen here (one coming from the foreground in this photo and the other making a corner approaching with three suspension insulators on the background) most likely led to a substation. It is possible the power source for the station's transformers came from either three-phase line. That is, in A or B configuration, enabling the other line to power the transformers when needed via station switching.
