I hope to answer your question 'DeathbyTeacup'. In the Railway Rulebook where overhead wires are concerned it states you are not allowed to go above 'Sole-bar level' because this will put a member of staff too close to the wires and liable to danger from electrocution. The Orange lines first appeared about 10 -15 years ago and are used as a marker enabling the safe limit to be recognised by Staff concerned.
