Rare remnant open wire phone line

Allen County, Indiana

This shot shows the second pole remnant open wire phone line leading to a house on private property. Looks like a small cable was adding many years later and then eventually CATV. The two glass insulators are CD 122 Hemingray-16 or 17.

Two wire open phone lines on old wooden side brackets were still somewhat common along the rural country roads around Fort Wayne back in the early to mid 70's. This is the last remaining remnant of an open wire phone line I know of around the Fort Wayne area.

This shot shows the first pole leading to the house.
