Based on the picture in the link, the cantilever poles on the Morris & Essex look like an updated version of poles that I've seen on sidings and interchange tracks on the South Shore when its freight service was electrically operated. They aren't that unusual. On the other hand, electric operation in the United States is rather uncommon so catenary supports are not exactly a stock item in a supplier's catalogue.
