1. Location of Poles.
(a) The poles supporting the crossing span shall be placed outside of the Railway Company's right of way
where practicable, but in no case shall the distance between the poles be over one hundred and fifty (150) feet,
unless specially authorized by the Superintendent of Telegraph of the Railway Company. When wood poles are
used, the span immediately adjacent to the poles of the crossing span of the tracks or pole lines on the railroad
right of way shall not be over seventy-five (75) feet.
(b) The poles supporting the crossing span and the adjoining spans on each side shall be in straight line and
shall cross the railroad right of way as near at right angles as practicable. In no case shall the angle between the
electric line and the Railway Company's tracks or pole line be less than sixty (60) degrees unless specially authorized
by the Superintendent of Telegraph of the Railway Company.
(c) The poles shall be located as far away from inflammable material or structures as is practicable. Also
the poles shall be placed so that they will not be nearer than fifteen (15) feet from the nearest wire of any other
pole line on the Railroad right of way.
(d) Side clearance of any poles of the electric line shall not be less than twelve (12) feet from the nearest rail
of main line track nor less than six (6) feet from the nearest rail of sidings.
(e) Where the electric line must necessarily be constructed higher than and parallel to the telegraph line,
and separated from the latter by a distance less than the height of the electric line poles, the construction shall
conform to the requirements for the cross-over span as hereinafter specified. The requirements shall also apply
to each span next adjacent to the portion above the telegraph line, unless the distance from the nearest telegraph
wire to the topmost wire on the electric line poles at the end of the over-built section is greater than one and one-
half (1%) times the height of the topmost electric line wire from the ground.
2. Position and Clearance of Wires.
(a) The electric wires shall cross over the telegraph, telephone, or any other wires on pole lines on the railway
right of way.
(b) The electric wires shall not be less than twenty-eight (28) feet above the rail or any part of the railroad
right of way, under the most unfavorable conditions of temperature and loading.
(c) The electric wires shall clear any existing wires on pole lines on the railroad right of way, under the most
unfavorable conditions of temperature and loading, by not less than seven (7) feet. The telegraph cross arms may
be spaced fifteen(15)inches on centers at crossings in order to allow poles of minimum height to be used.
DETAILS OF MATERIAL AND CONSTRUCTION REQUIRED.
3. General.
(a) It is desired to so construct the crossing of the electric line wires so that each portion of the line shall
have sufficient strength to resist the maximum mechanical stresses to which it may be subjected, due allowance
being made for a factor of safety suited to the material used.
(b) Obviously the maximum mechanical loads upon the construction of electric line will usually occur when
the wires are coated with ice and subjected to a maximum wind velocity at right angles to the line at the minimum
temperature.
(c) The maximum stresses in construction of the electric line shall be computed on the basis of a wind pressure
of twenty (20) pounds per square foot of plane area, or twelve (12) pounds per square foot of projected area for
cylindrical surfaces. These values are based upon a maximum actual wind velocity of seventy (70) miles per hour
and are to be used in connection with the following coincident conditions:
1. The maximum coating of ice one-half (%) inch in thickness.
2. A minimum temperature of Zero (0) degrees Fahrenheit.
NOTE: In a few sections in the territory of the Northern Pacific Railway, the minimum temperature of Zero
(0) degrees and the above ice formation are not encountered. The construction of the electric lines
in such regions may, with the approval of the Superintendent of Telegraph, be modified to meet the
local climatic conditions. In no case shall the minimum temperature be taken above thirty (30)
degrees Fahrenheit.
(d) The following sizes and strengths of material are figured and specified on the assumption of the electric
wires and structures being subjected at the crossing of the railroad right of way with mechanical loads and stresses
as outlined above and that the wires do not exceed in number or size as hereinafter specified under Paragraph 11-A.
(e) Every facility for the inspection of material and workmanship shall be furnished by the company con-
structing the electric line. All work shall be subject to the inspection and approval of the Superintendent of
Telegraph of the Railway Company,and his interpretation of the drawings and specifications and his decisions as to
the quantity and quality of the work shall be final.
4. Poles.
The poles supporting the electric wires across the railroad right of way shall be either wood, steel or reinforced
concrete. If steel or reinforced poles are used, they shall conform to specifications satisfactory to the Superin-
tendent of Telegraph of Railway Company.
When wood poles are used, they shall conform to the following specifications:
1. A factor of safety of six (6) shall be used in connection with figuring on the strength of the poles.
2. Eastern or Western cedar may be used.
3. Poles shall be selected timber, peeled, free from defects which would decrease their strength or dura-
bility, and, in general, conform to the Northern Pacific Railway Company's specifications.
4. No Eastern cedar pole shall be used having a circumference at the top of less than twenty-two (22)
inches and circumference measurement for the different lengths of poles less than shown in the follow
ing table:
Circumference Six

(b) Wood poles shall not be used where inflammable materials are situated within a distance near enough to
cause an appreciable fire hazard to the poles.
(c) When wood poles are employed, surrounding underbrush and grass must be removed for a sufficient
distance to avoid fire hazard.
(d) Great care shall be taken in setting poles at crossings to secure firm foundations.
(e) Exposure to washouts shall be avoided.
(f) Poles shall not be set on sloping banks when other locations are practicable. Where poles are neces-
sarily set on sloping banks they shall be well reinforced by cribbing.
(g) In sandy or swampy soil concrete foundations shall be provided. Each foundation shall contain not less
than two (2) cubic yards of concrete.
(h) Concrete shall not he leaner than one (1) part of cement to two and one-half (21/2) parts of sand to five (5)
parts of broken stone. An equivalent gravel concrete may be used. Cement shall be Portland Cement conforming
to the standard specifications of the American Society for Testing Materials. Sand shall be clean and sharp. All
concrete shall be mixed and placed thoroughly wet.
6. Pole Fittings.
The top of each pole shall be roofed. All gains shall be one-half (%) inch deep and of proper width for cross
arms used. The center of the upper gain shall be at least ten (10) inches below the apex of the roof.
7. Guys.
(a) The factor of safety used in connection with guys shall be three (3).
(b) Wood poles supporting the crossing spans shall be side guyed in both directions and be head guyed away
from the crossing span. When there are from five (5) to eight (8) wires, the-poles of the crossing span shall be
double side guyed or guy strand used having at least twice the breaking strength specified in Paragraph 7-d.
(c) Braces may be used on the poles instead of guys, but the length shall be not less than ten (10) feet shorter
than the poles, in connection with which the braces are used. The butt of each brace shall be set at least six (6)
feet in the ground and when used as both a push and a pull brace, a cross log at least five (5) feet long and not less
than eight (8) inches in diameter shall be attached to the butt of the brace by means of a cross arm bolt.
(d) Guys shall be galvanized or copper covered stranded steel cable, having a breaking strength not less
than six thousand (6,000) pounds or galvanized rolled rods of equivalent tensile strength. All guys shall be anchor
guys and shall be attached to galvanized anchor rods at least five-eighths (1) inches in diameter and eight (8) feet
long.
(e) The anchor rods shall be fastened to anchor logs. All excavations for anchor logs shall be six (6) feet
deep where practicable. When not practicable to obtain this depth, excavation shall be made not less than four (4)
feet deep. This size of the anchor log shall correspond to the depth of excavation according to the following table:
Dimension of Anchor Logs

5 " 5 " 16 "
8 " 10 "
4 " 5 " 23
8 " 14 "
10 " 12 "
The length and width of excavation shall be made as small as possible, especially at the surface of the ground.
(f) In general, the method of anchoring, location for anchors and depth and character of setting shall be
such as to render effective the full strength of the guy. Poles having a pull greater than twelve (12) inches shall
be guyed. Guys shall be placed at a distance from the pole not less than one-third (3) the length of the pole.
Guys shall be attached to the pole so as to be below the electric wires and clear the same by at least two (2) feet.
Guys shall be attached to guy rods by means of thimbles and three(3) bolt guy clamps. The end of the guy attached
to the pole shall be wrapped twice around the pole and fastened with a three (3) bolt guy clamp, the wrapping held
in place on the back of the pole by the use of staples or their equivalent.
(g) Strain insulators are not required, but if these should be placed in guys, each strain insulator shall have
a breaking strength not less than that of the guy in which it is placed. Every guy which passes over or under any
electric wires,other than those carried upon the guyed poles,shall be so placed and maintained as to provide at all
times a clearance of not less than two (2) feet between the guy and such electric wire.
8. Cross Arms.
(a) Wood cross arms shall be at least three and three-quarters (3%) inches by four and three-quarters (454)
inches cross section of the proper length so as to provide the spacing of wires as specified under"Wires." No wood
cross arms shall have more than eight (8) wires of size greater than No. 6 B. &S.gauge and more than four (4) wires
of size greater than No. 00. Double cross arms shall be used on each of the poles of crossing span and on poles on
railroad right of way on which there is a pull of more than ten (10) feet. Each end of double cross arms shall be
provided with a five-eighths (8) inch space bolt or wood blocking between the arms securely fastened bya one-half
(M)inch bolt through the cross arms and block.
(b) Cross arms shall be attached to poles by means of cross arm bolts having a diameter of five-eighths (I)
inches of proper length in order to extend through the pole and cross arm, providing necessary length for nuts and
washers.
(c) Cross arm braces having a cross section of at least one-fourth (%) inch by one and one-fourth (11/1) inches
and twenty-eight (28) inches long shall be used and fastened to the poles by lag screws having a diameter of at
least one-half (%) inch and at least three and one-half (3%) inches long. Cross arm braces shall be attached to
the cross arms by the use of carriage bolts having a diameter of at least three-eighths ( ) of an inch and of the
proper length to correspond with the arms used.
All cross arm fittings, as cross arm bolts, braces, lag screws, carriage bolts,etc.,shall be galvanized to stand
the four (4) immersion galvanizing test.
9. Pins.
(a) Steel pins shall be used in all cases and shall have a factor of safety of three (3).
(b) The cross section of the pins used shall be at least five-eighths ($) of an inch.
10. Insulators.
(a) Porcelain insulators shall be used in all cases where the voltage on the wires exceeds seven hundred (700)
volts and shall be sufficiently strong so that, when mounted, they will withstand without injury twice the maximum
mechanical stress to which they will be subjected when the line conductors are attached to them. Glass insulators
will be satisfactory for voltages less than seven hundred (700) volts.
(b) Insulators shall not flash over at four times the normal working voltage, under a precipitation of water
of one-fifth (1-5)of an inch per minute at an inclination of forty-five (45) degrees to the axis of the insulator.
(c) Test voltage shall be determined by transformer ratio.
11. Wires.
(a) Kind and Size.
Solid or stranded wires may be used up to and including No.00 in size, above No. 00 in size the conductors shall
be stranded in the crossing span and other spans covered by these specifications. When the conductors are stranded
they shall contain not less than seven (7) component wires. The conductors used shall be of copper or aluminum.
The minimum sizes of wires used shall be not less than No. 6 B. & S. guage copper and No. 3 B. & S. guage alumi-
num. There shall be no joints in the conductors in the spans covered by these specifications. Cases where there
are more than eight (8) No. 00 wires, or the size of the wire is greater than No. 00, will be considered special and
the Superintendent of Telegraph will supply additional details as to the necessary strength of structure, in order
to carry the additional load.
(b) Separation of Wires.
The separation of the conductors for spans not exceeding one hundred and fifty (150) feet shall not be less than
twelve (12) inches.
For spans exceeding one hundred and fifty (150) feet, the pin spacing shall be increased, depending on the
length of the span and the sag of the conductors.
The clearance in any direction between the conductors nearest the pole shall not be less than nine (9) inches.
(c) Sag.
The wires shall be put up at the crossing span and at the spans on either side and adjacent to the crossing
span with proper sags as shown in Northern Pacific Railway Company's standard table of sags for different span
lengths and kinds and sizes of wires.
(d) Attaching Wires.
The method of attaching the conductors to the insulators shall be such as to hold the wire under maximum
loading to the insulators in case of shattered insulators, or wires broken or burned at insulators without allowing
an amount of slip which would materially reduce the clearance specified in Paragraph 2-C.
12. MAINTENANCE.
Poles, cross arms, insulators, wires,guys and other parts and material used in the structure of the wire crossing
over the right of way of the Railway Company shall be periodically inspected and necessary repairs promptly made
by the company to whom the pole lines and wires belong.
Wood poles and cross arms shall be replaced before their strength falls below two-thirds (2-3) of the original
strength.
Surrounding underbrush or grass or any inflammable material must be kept removed from wood poles for a
sufficient distance so as to reduce the fire hazard to a minimum.
The guys and anchors shall be maintained so that the guys are kept taut and serve the purpose for which they
are intended.
The wires shall be kept up to the proper sag.
