The contact wire actually isn't a "wire" - it's a copper profile with a dovetail in the top, that these clamps can clip on to!


These are going to corrode though, right?  Not galvanic corrosion so much, but jut thinking about bare copper exposed to the environment.  One end of the spectrum being the green Parliament building roof, opposite end being something like plumbing in an older house that's oxidized.

I'd imagine since it is in use, that shouldn't be an issue. I can't imagine them using a technology that is going to create issues. Don't we already have that in Toronto?
