While wandering the other day I was looking at some wayside remnants, and thought it might be an interesting thread. There are still lots of old time railroading remnants around, all we need do is pay attention.
I noticed these old telephone poles, one still standing. The one on the ground still has insulators on it.
This bank is almost at the summit of a slight grade that is over a mile long. The cinders still visible in this picture are the remains of many years of many steam locomotives on their knees pulling the hill.
I am sure there are more out there, even where railroads no longer exist.
