Is there a power transmission line crossing the tracks?That could be the reason for erecting these gantries to protect the track in case a cable breaks from the overhead line.Yes,I know that there must be hundreds of such crossings over all of the railways but why take this measure at this location?Maybe,the railways have had a bad experience with this particular line?Maybe its more prone to breaking or maybe its an EHV line which rates more precautions?
