line poles

[NW Mailing List]

There is currently a couple photos on Ebay taken from a branch line mixed
train with a bunch of stock cars on the head end (?maybe Honaker?).  The
thing that caught my eye were the "trees" along the line.  It looks like
they might have been cut and might be being used as line poles.  Can anyone
comment on whether this was actually practiced and if so, where and when.
Thanks,
Jim Cochran
