Not sure of the precise location but definitely in the dire straits of Winter. Brrrr!!! Note the manual labor involved here. Looks like one of the men is installing insulators (?) in the center of the photo with another lineworker using a drilling device towards the right. Another of the linemen is in the background atop a pole. New pole (bottoms) ready to be set are in the foreground.
