Page 134 gives a scale drawing of the power lines and railroad track elevation, with 1" = 30'. The drawing shows the nearest power line was 213 feet from the track and the farthest was 302, allowing for inaccuracy in taking this off the drawing. So the CAB cannot have been referring to the power line hit as the "first impact" because they said the second impact was 380 feet from the first.
