Was watching some vids of the New Haven Line.
One thing has always puzzled me for years.
The difference between the trackside catenary support poles that the NYNH&H put up, as opposed to what the Pennsy went with.
The NH poles are not really poles at all.
They are huge, built like a battleship.
Like a signal bridge.
The Pennsy went with a very slender profile.
The NH must have spent a ton of money for all that massive ironwork they put up.
How many of the poles on today's NEC do you guys think are original?
