Weirdest thing I ever saw was a pole getting caught on the overhead wire 
somehow, and then breaking off from the W, which left it swinging over the
middle of the tracks. That would have been an interesting one to remove :)

This was up at the Melb Uni interchange. There was a guy selling the Big
Issue nearby who was laughing so hard he was in hysterics...

Cheers,
