A study and inventory of Canadian railway insulators known to exist.

"Railway telegraph lines were very much a part of the Canadian landscape. As these lines are being replaced with microwave and fiber optics, an important component of our railway history is being lost. Canadian railway communications insulators are now even more important as historical artifacts, making possible the vital communications that 100 years later we now take for granted."
