inspecting overhead line routes

Explanation:
Maybe.

Leitungsstraße - overhead-line route

http://www.industrie.de/industrie/live/infothek/woerterbuch/...

An electricity line consists of either an overhead line or an underground cable, or both. A typical National Grid overhead line route uses three main types of lattice steel tower (or pylon). These are:
• suspension towers which support the conductors on straight stretches of line;
• deviation towers at points where the route changes direction;
• and terminal towers where lines terminate at substations or are connected to underground cables.
