Remarks & Notes

Sunset for the code line as two Conrail EMDs head east alongside the old Reading Railroad communication/signal wires, with the late winter sun highlighting the clear glass insulators. I think most railfans have an insulator or two sitting around the house on a desktop or table as a reminder of a once-common aspect of railroading.

Railroad Pole Lines Album created by member Matt Weldon	Album Views: 40,412
Photos showing the railroad pole lines. The pole line used four basic electrical circuits - telegraph, telephone, signaling, and power. Modern technologies of fiber optics, microwave, radio, satellite, and computers have been replacing the pole lines.
