In order: Yes, Yes and Yes.
Hope that helps!
More seriously, these poles (1) come in all heights, depending on the
application. Telegraph poles, especially older ones, tend to be quite low, you
could reach the wires with a stepladder, and other poles vary in height
depending on the application, voltage, whether they carry both power and phone,
etc etc.
Note that the only poles that deliberately run along railway lines were
telegraph, because the railways were the first telegraph users and ran private
lines for their own use. The others only run there because it's a good right of
way.
But these poles are great for use in cities too...
1 - note the spelling! the pedant in me tried once to suggest the subject line
was off, but it didn't take... I see YOU caught it though!
