We walked a bike trail in central Ohio that was an active railway until 1989 or so. My son and I have hunted this site for a year now, and I had not noticed until this weekend that some of the glass remaining on those poles were CD 151. We have never acquired a CD 151 from the wild, and when I noticed that a couple of the poles had decent CD 151 on them, we decided to get them down. In this before and after shot, you can see a CD 151 on one of the transposition brackets, then mysteriously, it is gone. I found a long stick in the woods and simply spun the insulator off its pin and it dropped to the forest floor for retrieval. We successfully executed this trick three times this weekend. Who needs an expensive snagalator when a big stick will do? |
