Zach Pumphery General Well, they're off the signal code line, the power line insulators use porcalin insulators, so these were off the telegraph/code line/signal wires. 3/1/2006 8:50:02 PM
Pat Scott General Some power lines used glass, Zach, just not this type. Since they were found on the tracks, you are right about the code/signal/communiations wires. 4/29/2006 12:03:11 AM
