A position measurement method for a wire (12) of an electrical contact line associated with a railway track (13). The method comprises: applying a measurement system (100) to a reference support (10), wherein the measurement system comprises a distance meter (102) and an inclinometer; measuring with the measurement system (100) a first distance (D1) and a first angle (β) between the reference support (10) and a portion of the railway track (13); measuring with the measurement system (100) a second distance (D2) and a second angle (γ) between the reference support (10) and the wire (12); triangulating the first distance (D1), the first angle (β), the second distance (D2) and the second angle (γ) to determine a height (f) of the wire (12) projected onto an axis perpendicular with respect to a plane of the railway track (13), and further to determine a lateral offset (e) of the wire (12) with respect to the perpendicular axis. A related position measurement system.
