In #755, we added support for aerialway lines, but not for pylons, as they aren't present in OpenMapTiles:
Some map styles, like OSM-Carto, opt to style aerialway lines with an icon pattern that alludes to pylons, but the actual position of pylons is ignored:
Pylons are a useful visual reference when navigating urban areas on foot, and when represented on the map with a simple shape like a dot or square, they provide a pattern effect that complements aerialway lines. For reference, here's the same screenshot of OSM-Americana with crudely drawn dots representing aerialway=pylon and squares for aerialway=station:

That's amusing that osm-carto uses a pattern rather than the actual position. I agree it make sense to style the pylon nodes at the higher zooms where that level of detail makes sense.
Do we expect to eventually symbolize aerialway stations? If so, we’d need to ensure that the pylon icons aren’t so prominent that the reader could mistake them for stations.
