This image shows the use of a simple and tensioned catenary system on the Kowloon-Canton (KCRC) East Rail line.

The catenary system is held in place by an integrated ceramic insulater and tubulear cantilver support.

The system is supported by using galvanized (zinc coated) wide flange steel poles.

The steel poles appear to be directly planted into a concrete foundation thereby eliminating the need for a base plate and anchor bolts. This direct planting of the poles into the ground system is typical of French construction methods.

At this time of writing, I do not know which firm designed this system.
