This Rails to Trail path cuts through a wetland and many of the old poles are well below grade. I’m addicted to seeking new looks at what’s been left behind.
That could be. They’d have to worth more than the trouble. These poles are in a swamp, maybe that’s why they linger. They do add some historical context this old spur line.
Great. Shot. Very evocative. I grew up in the rural midwest, these insulators lined the roads of my childhood. I thought them ugly BUT they usually meant I was going somewhere, perhaps to play with cousins?!

Did you climb a rail pole???

Well done!
They kind of remind me of storm troopers…or salt shakers. 🙂 Nice shot.
I could see that now that you mention it 🙂

Cool picture. BTW, I think those glass insulators are worth quite a bit of money, as antiques. I’m surprised no one has taken them yet.

The black and white makes it look much more foreboding.
B&W has a way o bringing out new detail for sure.

I can can relate to that. Not to many remnants of those time left by our roadways anymore
