How did it happen?

 The fence separating Norfolk Southern's property from River Park has been damaged.

Mangled pretty badly
(It's less than a year old.)

Here's a utility pole listing a bit. 
Could it be related to the bent fence?

 The cables connected to the pole were cut.

 Other pieces of cable were cut and thrown onto this pile beside some discarded utility poles.
New poles were installed, but what happened in between that caused the fence to be damaged?
Couldn't someone have done a better job than this?

and where are the cameras when yo need them???they should have recorded the perpetrator(s)...right? after all, they cost the taxpayers a cool 1/2 million $$$$$$$

I wonder if the cameras did record anything. My guess is that the fence was damaged by careless workers.

Seems the planning here was bass ackwards...why not replace the poles first and then put the fence in position. Another new piece of equipment that will be patched up and deemed good enough.

Good point. That would have been the logical way to do it.
