These finds are from yesterday, and are from a former-telegraph line, turned into a Rail Beacon line. I found several crossarms covered in glass, as a fallen tree had ripped off crossarms for almost a mile. We found:

(6) Porcelain Unipart Cable-tops, with a more closed top than the ones with a circular top-wire-groove. (3) Porcelain Unipart Cable-tops, with the circular top-wire-groove. (6) Whitall Tatum CD 128's*, two-or-three with a strange blot-out or mold repair on the dome. (6) DOMINION - 42 CD 154's, all of which were found on a crossarm, and I simply couldn't resist the feeling of picking them off. (2) Brookfield "B" Beehives, one in aqua, which I pulled off a pole myself, and one in emerald green, which I found with the skirt sticking out of the ground. (1) N.E.G.M. CO. CD 145 in aqua, and with a strange doughnut shaped piece of milk, or a blob of some kind in the dome. (1) CAN PAC CD 143, MLOD and in light green, mint-condition. (1) Canadian Porcelain sky-blue porcelain signal.

*- 4 of which came on a four-part transposition bracket.
