LRT power cable standoffs above 5th Street. One of what I call "priveleged views" afforded by the skyway. You are walking along, and suddenly reminded you are seeing things from the perspective of a low-flying cloud, not a mammal on the ground. This overhead (cantenary) power system was engineered by LTK systems, who have a history of transit design dating back to the 1930's. They use or have developed simulation software that is state of the art. And you know what simulation software is for transit engineers? That's right. Toy trains. Tooooot. Toooooot. This view from the 5th Street skyway from US Bank to the Qwest building.
