Are both tracks used by freight trains - i.e. the trolley track is used for freight at night, as I understand is done in Seattle? That would account for the high overhead and long pole, particularly if it has to clear double-stack trains.
 
I am interested in these examples because it is part of my mission to get vintage trams sharing existing rail tracks on Wellington's waterfront.

It's not part of the trolley.  It's a railroad track.

Why isn't there any overhead wire on the other track?

I found this picture  of a W on the net.  There are two interesting
things about the picture: The color scheme and the extraordinary lenght
of the trolley pole.Some of the other colors in Memphis are light blue,
dark blue and maroon.
