Thanks, that shits real old school stuff. Didn't they redo them for switch signals?Yes sir. Some of the poles still have the glass insulators.

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.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.

I get it. Like when they replace rails and ties, just chuck them on the side.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.
Not all of them, I have a nice retaining wall made out of them.I get it. Like when they replace rails and ties, just chuck them on the side.
Fun times, sounds like all the att phone infrastructure around work.All the switch/mast signal utilities are run underground.

It's a quote. I have no idea how many were made.

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.Roku has the NHRA channel. Last night they ran a several hour show of '60's races. I think all the races were at Pomona.
