An overhead power line is a structure used in electric power transmission and distribution to transmit electrical energy along large distances. It consists of one or more conductors (commonly multiples of three) suspended by towers or poles.
powerlines mounted on pylons, see Overhead power line. For lines carrying information, see Overhead cable. An overhead line or overhead wire is used to transmit electrical energy to trains, trolleybuses
There are always two. Live in the overhead line and neutral/earth in the tracks in contact with the wheels.
Well, there is no way of doing it without an overhead or underground transmission line.
First of all, the overhead lines are cheaper because they are bare, while underground cables are armoured and insulated, hence explaining the higher price. Overhead cables come of course with accessories like poles and insulators (mostly porcelain). For shorter distance, underground cables are preferred as the cost of pole erection does not exist.It's also worth pointing out that the cost of excavating a trench is more expensive than erecting an overhead line, and this cost escalates dramatically with higher voltage systems. For example, a 132-kV double-circuit underground line is between 5 and 8 times the cost of an overhead tower line, whereas an 11-kV single-circuit underground line is up to twice the cost of a wooden-pole overhead line.

The GT model had a 2.4L in-line 4, dual overhead cam with 4 valves per cylinder. The SE model had a 2.2L in-line 4, overhead valve with 2 valves per cylinder.
The Tropic of Cancer is a line of latitude (23.5 o N) where the Sun is directly overhead at the Summer Solstice. The Tropic of Capricorn is a line of latitude (23.5 o S) where the Sun is directly overhead at the Winter Solstice.

The Tropic of Cancer is an east-west line on the map representing the northernmost place where the sun is ever directly overhead. It is debatable whether there is any such thing as the "opposite" of a line. But you could say the counterpart of the Tropic of Cancer is the Tropic of Capricorn, which is the line that is the southernmost place where the sun is ever directly overhead.
