Old City Light and Power, Indiana Michigan Power Utility Pole

A shot of an old City Light and Power, Indiana Michigan Power utility pole in the neighborhood of Spy Run in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Small sections of Spy Run and sections of Northside are the last two neighborhoods in Fort Wayne to have some of the old CL&P/I&M poles still up in service. However, the last year the old poles have been upgraded in the Northside Neighborhood in most sections.

This shot shows two CD 218 Hemingray-660s on the bottom City Light and Power buckarms. Looks like one maybe both transformers are not in use anymore.This is also the first pole I've seen were steel pins are in use for the old City Light and power crossarms. The nearly full moon was a nice bonus with the late evening lighting.

Before March 1, 1975 the top crossarm would of been I&M while the bottom two buckarms CL&P. After that date, I&M leased from CL&P for 35 years until on February 28, 2010, I&M would eventually become the exclusive electric service provider for Fort Wayne.
