After the National Show, I took the ride on the Royal Gorge Route (Canon City, CO) along the Arkansas River. There were some fabulous insulators and signaling still in use - so I could not pass up the opportunity to snap a few photos. I could identify CD 162s, CD 214s, CD 154s, CD 155s, CD 145s, and some rubber and porcelain. Here is a pole loaded - notice the insulators up and down the pole. These are used as a circuit to identify falling rock.
