There were many CD 133 W. Brookfield's used on every section of the Central of Georgia Railway telegraph line. There were two notable exceptions. The line between Fort Valley and Columbus, GA used very few CD 133's and the line from Macon, GA to Atlanta, GA used a very large number of the CD 133 signal styles. Most of my CD 133 are stored in boxes, but I think I had around 14 different embossings and color variants. There were the CD 133's which might have been reworked CD 131's (e.g. [260]), an old heavy signal [230] well documented by David Wiecek's posts, a large later CD 133, and a smaller CD 133 also of later manufacture. See David Wiecek's posting for information on the older heavier version of the CD 133. My posting is of the newer heavy style CD 133 W. Brookfield (arched) / 55 Fulton St. / N.Y. on the front dome and "Cauvet's (arched) / Pat / July 25 1865 / Pat Jan 25 1870". This one was used as the embossing was very heavy and it was easy to photograph. This is a picture of the back dome embossing.
