Are those old telegraph lines Tony?
I don't care for fast food but I'd eat here for sure.
Yes sir. Some of the poles still have the glass insulators.
Thanks, that shits real old school stuff. Didn't they redo them for switch signals?
All the switch/mast signal utilities are run underground.
I believe they did this back in the 80’s when the D&H/B&M redid their main lines.
The system shows it’s age anytime it rains as water seepage causes issues with our signals.
So, those wires are basically junk. That's what i've seen on all the rail crap I watch. Interesting they're still there though.
Yup. Just relics from years past. For my RR at least they don’t really clean up after repairs or derailments. They’ll just leave everything off to the side.
I get it. Like when they replace rails and ties, just chuck them on the side.
We used to have those along our tracks, also.
The wire would turn green indicating it was copper.
I found out from the old heads, it was steel wire with a copper jacket or coating.
The copper kept the steel from rusting and probably helped with conductivity.

Not all of them, I have a nice retaining wall made out of them.
Fun times, sounds like all the att phone infrastructure around work.

It's a quote. I have no idea how many were made.
Real or not, that looks bad ass!
I don't have Roku, but I would have loved to have seen that several hour special. Southern California NHRA racing was THE best back in the day.
