This was taken right here in my home town ;-). By 1910 more circuits were added; becoming a six-pin route along this stretch. During the early 1920s new cedar poles with ten-pin crossarms carrying hard-drawn copper wire replaced all of the old stuff. The latter was in use by Western Union until 1965. I enjoyed hunting many miles of this line in my younger collecting years. Never found anything too fancy. In 1995-1997 a rapid transit route connecting to Boston was built. During the land-clearing operation I came across some cool insulator pins, crossarms and hardware; most of which I've added to my outdoor displays. The station building still stands and is a restaurant. |
