This single-crossarm line was in service until 1963. At that time this stretch...from Braintree, MA to Scituate, MA (about 12 miles) ... stood with one arm per pole; supporting eight or ten wires. Years ago I found a couple CD 136 B&O insulators along it. Possibly the B&O Telegraph Company originally was the line's owner for some time.
