During the period between 1969 to 1972, I made seven trips to hunt insulators on the Central of Georgia Railway telegraph line which ran East from Macon, Georgia to Savanna, Georgia. The following sections were hunted including: Rocky Ford, GA (West); Rocky Ford, GA (East) toward Dover, GA; and Dover, GA toward Halcyondale, GA (both West & East). Highway 17 tracks the Central of Georgia Railway line East toward Savanna, GA. This post shows an unique 134.4 No Embossing Oakman style insulator in a beautiful blue color. The unique feature is the Oakman style threads. I'll post an enlarged picture of the threads [id=605186116] observed on both sides of the insulator. It was a thrill to add this to my collection. I saw three or four of the CD 134.4 insulator on the poles, but most had bad damage. Many insulators in Georgia appear to be targets of hunter target practice. |
