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 Northside in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Sections of Northside and small sections of Spy Run are the last two neighborhoods in Fort Wayne to have some of the old CL&P/I&M poles still up in service. Sadly, about six months ago this whole alley has been upgraded to a single phase circuit.

This is a wide angle shot of a pole along an alley with a CD 218 Hemingray-660 glass insulator along with five failed wooden pins.

Before March 1, 1975 the top two crossarms would of been I&M while the bottom two 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.

Here is a close up shot.

Here is a close up shot of just the lower CL&P crossarms.

I love those old I&M/CL&P poles. Lots of character on those old buggers!

I hope these poles aren't on that alley that got upgraded though. : (

Thanks! Like I said above in the first paragraph this whole complete alley got upgraded to a single phase circuit about six months ago, sorry to say.

It's funny, some of the best mansions in Fort Wayne are part of this alley and they had the oldest looking poles left, but this is mostly south of E State Blvd not far from this shot. Also, some parts of this alley at the above mention spot they completely tore up the alley and laid an all new cement pavement down. Now it looks like a new cement road.
