Alley between Florida Dr and Forest Park Blvd and north of E State Blvd, Fort Wayne, Indiana. A shot of an old City Light and Power, Indiana Michigan Power utility pole in the neighborhood of Northside in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In this shot the glass insulator is a CD 168 Hemingray D-510. Hard to believe its been five years when this was all upgraded to a single phase circuit. Before March 1, 1975 the top two crossarms would of been I&M while the bottom two 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 Google street view what it looks like today with it all single circuit, even a new repaved concrete alley. www.google.com/maps/@41.0968604,-85.1188991,3a,75y,3.95h,96.16t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sE553UXftAA_0JLcxyU8rkw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en

Alley between California Ave and Alabama Ave north of Vermont Ave, Fort Wayne, Indiana. A shot of an old City Light and Power, Indiana Michigan Power utility pole in the neighborhood of Northside in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Sections of Northside and small sections of Spy Run were the last two neighborhoods in Fort Wayne to have some of the old CL&P/I&M poles still up in service. Sadly, upgrades to these poles happen about two years ago and is all now just a single phase circuit line. This shot shows an old GE transformer along with a CD 168 Hemingray D-510 glass insulator, one old box cutout, and a glass lightning arrester. Before March 1, 1975 the top two crossarms would of been I&M while the bottom two 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.

In this shot the glass insulator is a CD 168 Hemingray D-510 along with what looks like an older GE transfomer. Sadly, a couple days ago when I drove past these last of the old City Light and Power poles they where being upgraded completely. I'm glad I was able to photograph about 50 of the last old poles. I will say in about a year not a single old City Light and Power pole will remain in Fort Wayne. Before March 1, 1975 the top two crossarms would of been I&M while the bottom two CL&P.

This shot shows an alley crossarm on the old City Light and Power lines along with two CD 168 Hemingray D-510 glass insulators. 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 one 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.
