Found this pic at another website. Hope the taker will not mind being insulator collecting is kinda connected to the love of trains. The engine on the right is a Canadian Pacific. It originally was a Deleware and Hudson track but the Canadian Pacific railroad purchased the line back in the seventies. I believe the engine on the right is an oldie used New York Central. I pass by it a couple times a year when I am out hunting down insulators at nearby antique/junk shops. Me and a friend have hunted the line of poles that you see in this pic. It had many nice old insulators at one time. The coolest I found was an light olive green Brookfield 133 creb and some Brookfield 138 Postal Tel Co's. Same line also produced a few 131 crebs.
