Some early day Linemen practicing on training poles, location unknown but thought to be in Washington State. They may be training but are obviously "showing off" for the photo! Note the old cast iron pole transformer with porcelain "suicide switch" fuse cut-outs in service above the 2 linemen on the left. To see a close up photo of this type of switch recently found in Canada by Bob Scafe, [id=246030543]
