Signal Power is IIRC 2.2kV Broadmeadows -  Somerton, 440V Somerton
to Wodonga, except for a bit of 230V near Dysart.

There will be the remote control for the SG CTC, there are/were
Telstra pairs Melb - Seymour & Melb - Wodonga to close the loop.

Then there is the Double Line Block circuit, the SG Signal Cct and
the Sepac Phone.

Thesedays Albury South Box probably does what everyone else does,
picks up the Telstra line and dials 1800 whatever to get to
Adelaide.

All the Train to Base radio traffic goes via 4 wire? Telstra Ccts.
Only the power might come off the pole line.
