I work in the photocopier industry and have used corona charge wire which on some models comes in spools about 4 feet long. The copier advances the spool over time to give a clean surface for charging the 600 volt potential used. When it is time to change the spool I keep the old one to use as telegraph wire. <br /> <br />The wire becomes grey and weathered looking after use and it conducts if you want to power some thing as well. It is a very fine but strong wire and almost invisible from any distance. <br /> <br />I first install my pole line and over a period of operation observe where there might be conflicts with the overhead when switching and or rerailing cars. The poles in these areas I leave unwired but in other places it looks great along the rite of way.[2c]
