Analysis
The CFI made a successful forced landing on a highway median strip while on a dual night x-country flt after a pwr loss occurred. CFI drained the fuel sumps and was able to restart the engine. He then decided to takeoff from the median and fly the acft back to the arpt without the student on board. After becoming airborne CFI turned off the landing light because of oncoming highway traffic. The acft struck an unmarked power line. CFI was able to reland the acft.
