Union Pacific Pole Line, Lava Hot Springs, Idaho

            Bannock County, Idaho   August 07, 1999.

Railroad pole line taken along the UP Pocatello Subdivision just north of Lava Hot Springs, Idaho.

The UP Railroad will be the last stronghold for railroads using open wire pole lines in the states, with the last of it to be decommission in 2020.

The UP Pocatello Subdivision was loaded with CD 152 California insulators in a couple of different colors. It followed all along Old Highway 30 between Lava Hot Springs to Bancroft until it met up with US Highway 30. I was able to find about two dozen of the CD 152 California insulators in various colors.

This shot shows the pole line with three CD 152 California insulators on the bottom crossarm.

Scanned from a 35mm negative using a Pentax PZ-10 camera. Pentax FA 28-80mm f/3.5-4.7 lens.
