The next few posts will cover various insulators which were unique to the Southern Railroad (often called Georgia Southern Railroad) and not found on the Central of Georgia Railroad. Most of my collecting was on the Southern Railway route from Macon, GA South to Savanna, GA. My best collecting location was in Dodge County between Gresston, GA and Eastman, GA. The unique telegraph style insulators included: CD 153 Brookfield; CD 169 Whitall Tatum No. 4; CD 157 Hemingray 38 and CD 157 Brookfield. The second post will cover the back of the CD 169 Whitall Tatum No. 4.

CD-169 No. 4 / Whitall Tatum (Front) Made In U.S.A / 2 (Back) - 3 Piece Mold - Light Blue Aqua

There were a small number of the CD 169 Whitall Tatum No. 4 found on the Gresston, GA section of the Southern Railroad. All told, I found only about 10 or so - they made for good trading stock. The CD 169 Whitall Tatum No. 4 was only found in various aqua shades. After finding massive numbers of CD 154 Whitall Tatum in SCA on the Central of Georgia, I was hoping for a CD 169 Whitall Tatum in SCA, but as far as I know that does not exist. Also note, no CD 154 Whitall Tatum No. 1 insulators in SCA were found on this railroad line - I did find a moderate number of CD 154 Whitall Tatum No. 1 insulators in aqua on this line.
