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 post, 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

This picture shows the back of this insulator. Note: The crude nature of this pour. The next picture I will post shows all the signal styles - CD 133, CD 134 and CD 162 Brookfield style found on the Central of Georgia Western Union Telegraph line located North of Macon, Georgia.
