What's wrong with this picture!! Another lonely pole with a funny look along a disused railway. On this stretch, all the poles had only one crossarm, or sometimes only hooks, indicating it was just a branch line. This poor insulator lives a tough life, sitting upside down with water pouring into its skirts! The brackets holding the crossarm are simply gone. Lucky for him, it rarely gets below zero here, which would undoubtely cause him to split.
