In the foreground is a nice view of a 10-pin telephone open wire lead that went through this Wisconsin comminity. Way in the background is a telegraph line (faint details seen) pararelling a RR right-of-way and a tall single-circuit high-voltage electric transmission circuit outfitted with large porcelain multipart insulators.
