The route for an overhead electricity line is surveyed to provide a profile (gradients) of the route -including any obstacles (roadways, rivers, outbuildings, etc.). Wherever possible, individual poles are placed where they will cause the least obstruction to farmers' machinery, etc. Ideally, means utilising natural or man-made features -e.g. following hedgerows, stone walls, etc. But, ultimately, their locations and, therefore, their distances apart, depend upon ensuring that the conductor sag remains above the minimum safety clearance, allowing for changes in temperature, ice loading, etc., and taking into account the profile (gradients) of the land and obstacles along their route. This is determined by a combination of the heights of adjacent poles and their distances apart and gradients/obstacles between. For routes across open, flat, countryside, the poles are likely to be roughly equidistant but, for route profiles that vary considerably in height, with obstacles, these distances can vary considerably.

What did railroads use to conduct electricity along railroad?
The early railroads established "polelines" to carry telegraph wires and electricity alongside the railroad tracks. These looked like what are called telephone poles today, but could have large "crossarms" at the top to carry many wires. These began with just 2 or 4 wires for telegrph use, which later had 2 wires for electricity added. As technology advanced, more wires were added to control trains and send other messages along the lines.

What are further apart at the equator than at the poles?
Lines of constant latitude don't cross the equator. Any two lines of constant longitude are farthest apart at the equator, and meet at the north and south poles.

Do north pole and north pole attract each other?
If you're talking about magnets, then yes, north poles attract south poles.Two North poles repel, and two South poles repel.If you're talking about the Earth's north and south poles, those are justlocations. They're about as far apart as it's possible to get on Earth, andthey have no influence on each other.
