Many CD 151 H.G. Co. /Petticoat insulators were used on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad as it ran East and West through Iowa. Most were various aqua and blue aqua colors; however, there were a few that were near clear in color. I also found the CD 151 H.G. Co. /Petticoat in rare colors including cornflower blue and depression green. This post shows a corn-flower blue CD 151 which was found in November of 1972. It was found on a section located East of West Liberty and Moscow, Iowa - a short distance from where the railroad track crossed the Cedar River. Details on the back of this insulator are as follows:
