Site of the Month - May 2012

This photo was taken in the context of the modernization of the overhead contact lines in the Brussels area.

The photo of the month shows the renewal of flexible gantries in Brussels-North. A flexible gantry is a construction of stretched cables to which the overhead contact lines are attached. No rigid cross-beams are used. The current gantries date from the 50s of last century and were in urgent need of replacement.
