I started to pick this pole line in the early 70's of the old Pennsylvania Railroad that ran between Fort Wayne and Chicago. It was always my favorite railroad to insulator hunt for the large variety of insulators found. I was able to get over 125 different insulators for my collection from this pole line alone.

Some of my best finds were two CD 151 H.G.CO. in beautiful cornflower blue. Large assortment of CREB beehives, some in the nice green colors. Two dozen of CD 162 Hemingray No 19s in true green. Petticoat beehives in apple green and one very nice yellow green one, and also in the narrow skirt style. And a few Hemingray-109s in yellow amber.
