Any property of any telephone or electric distribution company, or association engaged in distributing electricity by wires or similar conductors, attached or liable to attachment under the provisions of section 52-287, may be subjected to a lien by any person holding the legal title to an unsatisfied judgment, whether by assignment or otherwise, against the company or association, provided the creditor shall file a certificate in writing in the office of the Secretary of the State in the form provided in section 52-380a. If the lien is placed upon the property attached in the suit upon which the judgment was predicated and within four months after the judgment was rendered, it shall hold from the date of the attachment. Any such lien may be foreclosed or redeemed in the same manner as mortgages upon real property.
