440 on the Pole Line - How Long, and Where? (NW Mailing List)

[NW Mailing List]

I miss all those pole lines.  That was a big part of the environment 
around the railroad and it seems empty without them.

  4400 volt power line (NOT 440) on Bristol Line and Hagerstown Line 
retirement started in late 1980's when electronic track circuits 
replaced DC circuits.  Yes, with the emergence of DC many local power 
feeds had taken over anyway.  Retirement was completed in mid-90's but 
many of the poles still remain in place.  I doubt the wire remains but 
have no way of telling from here.  I don't think I can find out where 
the substations were.  Maybe that info is in NWHS archives somewhere.
