The catenary trolley work of the Denver and Interurban Railroad, in details of design and in methods of construction, exemplifies the special features involved in the problem of providing an overhead system for electric operation on roads using steam for motive power previous to and during electrification. Such roads generally have rigid regulations, and the operation of steam trains during the construction period imposes material limitations upon the work. The object of this paper is to outline some of the governing conditions relating to catenary construction for such roads, and the means adopted to meet these conditions in this most recent instance.
