Old City Light and Power, Indiana Michigan Power Utility Pole

Old City Light and Power, Indiana Michigan Power Utility Pole
A shot of an old City Light and Power, Indiana Michigan Power utility pole in the neighborhood of Spy Run in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Small sections of Spy Run and sections of Northside are the last two neighborhoods in Fort Wayne to have some of the old CL&P/I&M poles still up in service.

This shot shows an alley crossarm on the old City Light and Power lines along with two CD 168 Hemingray D-510 glass insulators. The nearly full moon was a nice bonus with the late evening lighting.

Before March 1, 1975 the top crossarm would of been I&M while the bottom one CL&P. After that date, I&M leased from CL&P for 35 years until on February 28, 2010, I&M would eventually become the exclusive electric service provider for Fort Wayne.

Great find and photo! I like how they used wooden pins on the alley arm there. Also a very nice set of angled pins on the top arm as well! I wouldn't be surprised if this pole wasn't at least 85 years old.
