This is as close to the bridge as you can get. I came to this place cause a lady at antique store in Waverly said she had a "red glass" (I'm assuming it's probably amber) insulator she said a lineman had given her who said he pulled them off the tressle decades ago. He told the lady they had used the "red glass" ones on the tressel. Why would they have used red glass ones(probly amber, of course) going across the bridge? .....but nowhere else along this line? Up on the tiptop you can see three gigantic porcelain pieces.
