The invention relates to a line section for the operation of electrically driven rail vehicles, with a track which exhibits two parallel rails, with a contact line borne by an insulator, said contact line being arranged on one side of the track in a spatial region extending parallel to the rails, wherein the contact line is intended to supply current-collectors of the electrically driven rail vehicles with current and to support said current-collectors from underneath, and wherein the contact line and the insulator bearing the contact line are intermittently interrupted or not interrupted.

The invention is distinguished in that a support device which is non-functional for the power supply of the rail vehicle is arranged on the other side of the track in a second spatial region extending parallel to the rails, said support device being intended to support current-collectors of the electrically driven rail vehicles from underneath without supplying them with current.
