Norwegian term
bæretråd

Occurs in a marketing translation of a Norwegian supplier to the railway industry in the following sentence, "*** har høy kompetanse innen optimalisert bæretrådopphenging". I am thinking this is some kind of suspension but can't put my finger on it.

catenary wire
From the supplied references, it looks to me like the suspension droppers run from the catenary wire to the contact wire - so bæretråd would be the catenary wire. But please note my confidence level here....
