This old railroad pole line stands largely intact for a few miles, minus the wires, along the Canadian National Railway between Clifton and Chebanse, IL. The poles are closer to the adjacent road than the tracks, making this look like an old telephone line. 99.9% of these are Hemingray 40s and 42s, with a very few clears mixed in, and one lone HG Petticoat beehive seen on the middle arm of the second pole.
