Two comments: 1) For a non-expert it is difficult to assess how many circuits a power line carries without having access to the operators' documentation.
2) I notice that the wiki page uses the term "cable" for overhead power distribution. According to my knowledge and Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line) overhead power lines are implemented with "conductors". Cables (i.e. insulated conductors) are normally not used in overground transmission.
