Nice poles, Eric! I miss those old things. Used to be lots of em' along the Watrous sub out at Riverview and Clavet.
ReplyDeleteI will not. Be. Sorry. When they are finally removed, fall down or are replaced by two-storey high trackside vegetation due to CN's lack of RoW maintenance. Tough to try to fit cars between them for photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Elijah.
