<div dir="ltr">I am guessing that the solid lines with
the directional markings are microwave paths I wonder
if the dashed lines are following railroad right of
ways? I know that fiber optic cables run along the RR
right of way now. I am not sure if they used to do
the same thing with copper. Now that I think about
it, there always used to be overhead cables or wires
along the RR right of way. I had always assumed those
were for RR communications. Perhaps I was wrong and
they belonged to someone else who leased the space.</div>
