I don't do nearly as much walking the rail lines as I used to. In Minnesota when pole lines are removed, they take everything. The old days of salvaging the wire and leaving the poles, crossarms, and insulators where they fell are long gone, and all of the lines that might have had something interesting have been picked over. I know the ICON mantra is "They are still out there!" but I tell people, "All of the easy stuff is long gone, now you have to dig." Well, this summer I found something worth taking home for the first time since 1999. I searched the former Great Northern (now BNSF) from Crookston to Hallock. As expected, there was very little material on the ground, but in Warren there were still a few poles standing that once operated the interlocking signals where the GN crossed the Soo Line "wheat line" (now Northern Plains Railroad). I found two piles of poles and crossarms along the railroad in town and in each pile I found one CD 169.5 Brookfield. When I first saw it I thought it was a Brookfield CD 152 and was pleasantly surprised to find it was something a bit less common. They are both near mint. One thing that surprised me at these two piles was there were very few chipped and broken insulators, almost everything was in very good shape. Also, these were the only Brookfield products to be found. There were a few common H.G. Petticoat CD 145 and Pittsburg porcelain, and everything else was CD 154 and 155 Hemingray and Whitall-Tatum and CD 155 Armstrong's. If you are interested in searching this line, I am willing to tell you where I looked and some ideas of where you might find something.
