CD 162s are seen on the upper arms for electric lighting service customers with lines owned by the street railway beneath. Note the two CD 104s. These supported wires for private telephone dispatching along the trolley route. In the middle of the same crossarm are a couple glass insulators supporting heavy copper cables that powered the street cars. On the right are a couple CD 202s that might have been for some other purpose (light fixtures, etc.).
