A lineman strains a wire on a (!) new open wire telephone line on new crossarms with new and re-used Insulators at the present days. Rare times, huh.. The railway's either engineer wrote me: that is a nostalgia railway line with old feelings. It needs an open wire telephone line too.. COOOL!

The railway has new materials: crossarms, wires and Insulators to replace some old poles because on low traffic country railway lines where isn't optical cable contact, there work yet the old open wire lines, they need some renewing. The telephone company totlal removed all open wire lines..
