During the period between 1969 to 1971, I made several trips to hunt insulators on the Central of Georgia Railway telegraph line North from Macon, Georgia to Athens, Georgia. My favorite section was between Godfrey, GA to Madison, GA. My notes indicate the line had four tiers of insulators which were mostly common types including aqua CD 145 W. Brook, CD 145 B, CD 133 /134 W. Brookfield insulators. Although, this was a typical Western Union telegraph line there were no CD 127 or CD 126.3 insulators - only CD 126 dome embossed Brookfield's. The unique insulators in this section also included: three new signals that were not in my collection. In the next posts I will show these three unique signal style insulators. The exact embossing on the second signal is as follows:

CD-133 Brookfield (Front) No. 20 (Back) Very Deep Yellow-Green-Olive

The next post will be the back of this insulator. [604354033] Note: There were a number of CD 133 Brookfield No. 20 insulators on this line in various shade of aqua. There were a few in various shade of green and only about three or so that I would call a shade of olive - this was the deepest and most spectacular color. Some times I think that the Western Union bought the junk insulators that Brookfield would normal throw in there dump. Their junk has now become my treasure.
