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.
