I am running the above activity and it has only the overhead wire. Nothing hold the wire up. I'm I don't the proper name for these "poles".
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Fred

Catenary poles (or masts).
Turn up your detail level.

Thanks for your reply. My detail level is at the highest setting and I still can't see the Catenary poles. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Fred

Is this the ProTrain Semmering route? AFAIK that was a known problem with that route. Not sure whether or not a patch was actually released, and Blue Sky's website seems to be down at the moment...

No, at least I don't think it is ProTrain. It runs under MSTS Europe 1 and is an activity I dowloaded from the files. I checkd the other Innsbruck routes and they are the same, wires by no Catenary poles.

It is Europe 2 not 1, and I have solved the problem. I went to the files library to see if anything might be of help and I found a program called "innsbrel". It is an "update" to Europe and adds the Catenary poles.
Thanks for your time and suggestions>

As near as I can remember, the European routes were based on steam eras. Thus having caternary poles would be out of place. So more than likely the caternaries were from another route and not those two. Possibly from Japan1 or USA1 routes. As they're the only defaults I know of that uses overhead wires. Needing that upgrade of the default route would thus not be necessary unless the route specified them in the readme.

You are correct about steam on the European lines. The activity I installed electrified the line!!!

There is also a Europe 2 update. Don't use it. It changes the Innsbruck line to its so called original "Arlbergbahn" name.
Thanks to every one for their help.

Uhm? And why should people not use it? All it does, is change the speed limits to be a bit more prototypical. And change the name, which IS the correct, official name for the route, even today.
