These were the good old days, beautiful.

[@toddz8421]

Yes, great times!

Love climbing poles such a thrill.

[@toddz8421]

Yes, it's very exciting to climb the poles to see what is up there! I think it's saving history!

[@monon73855]

Some very nice finds so late in the game. Started doing this back in the late 60's. Thanks for showing!

[@toddz8421]

Thank you!

[@Gregory47342]

I know a place where there are still poles with glass insulators still on them. Now I have to make some time to get them before they are removed. Thanks for posting this video.👍

[@toddz8421]

Yes, check them out. Even if they seem common, might be some good ones there.

[@Mknewriver]

Man, there was some cool stuff on the D&H back in the day! Looks like the pole lead was still in service here. Thanks for the great pictures!!

[@toddz8421]

Yes, some really nice ones! I think there was some power on the poles near the light signals.

WOW!!! That's incredible to find CD 170's! Great hunt!!!

[@toddz8421]

Thanks!

[@fleendarthemagnificent7372]

WOW! I love it! I'd love to have that very junky and carbony signal! Incredible what good glass is still in the air back in the hills.

[@toddz8421]

@@fleendarthemagnificent7372 I found that junky carbon insulator back in 2005 on the New York Central R.R. In Little Falls N.Y. and since sold it. Now it’s in New Mexico.

Good scores! Those still shots are pretty cool as well.

[@toddz8421]

I'm glad you like them! Thanks!

[@Shibafussa]

You said ask, so had to ask...great finds there. Realize you may not answer but where is that trestle and is it tied/near to a tunnel? Not familiar with D&H but have been railbiking up near Glenn Falls but not same line.

[@toddz8421]

I do not believe it was near a tunnel. It's been a while since I hunted that line. I think it was between Unadilla and Afton along route 7. The D&H runs from Albany to Binghamton. Thanks, it was an amazing time finding those old insulators.

[@Shibafussa]

Appreciate the info. Was searching the wrong area. If you ever get up to this area there are tons of insulators but mostly Armstrongs. maps.app.goo.gl/WabjGf8ndsGtjB8t9

[@TheDopalgangr]

I have a whole box of those that a neighbor gave me years ago. I don't know what to do with them

[@toddz8421]

You can sell them on ebay or garage sale if you want to get rid of them. Can you post a photo of what you have?
