The MSTS 1 Route Editor can be a beast to use, but it's capable of some amazing results, here you can talk with the wizards that are building some of the fantastic routes available and learn how to make your own.

Use this as your gantry.dat file

// A gantry is assumed to be a power gantry - signal gantries are placed separately.
// Gantry data is organised into named sets
// A named set of gantry data is associated with a route
//
// Interval <n> metres interval at which gantries are placed
//
// Style:
// 0x00000001 Pylon - paired single gantries are placed opposite each other
// 0x00000002 Overhead - a single overhead gantry spans the track
//
// The gantry entries are ordered according to type. Spanning gantries must be
// ordered in increasing width.
//
// Pylon:
// Shape Name
//
// Overhead:
// num gantries
// for each gantry:
// <shapename> <distance>
//
// For pylon style gantries, distance is the maximum separation of a pair
// For overhead style gantries distance is the inside separation of the verticals
//
// All gantries have their origin at the bottom centre so that
// it coincides with the centre of the span of track(s) they are being laid over.
Will give you 4 track, 3 track, 2 track (one mast either side) and 1 track masts, plus bridge masts over 2 track lines.

Then in the auto place drop down, select what you want, and it'll place the bits along the line :)

The electrification pack has now been updated to include the gantry.dat file. It's just a question of copying and pasting into the route directory.
