Where I have property the trails surrounding the power powls (its not on my property but some distance away) do not coincide with the towers/poles. In other words they often cut into to place their tower, then cut in another location to place the next tower and so on. They didn't - in many places - go in between. (for good reason - great difficulty). That would make following the lines next to impossible unless you knew where the cut out trails lead to the next cut in for the next tower / pole. I'm thinking you are FAR better off with rail lines - particularly abandoned rail lines.
