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 Northside in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Sections of Northside and small sections of Spy Run are the last two neighborhoods in Fort Wayne to have some of the old CL&P/I&M poles still up in service. Sadly, this pole about six months ago got upgraded and is all now a single phase circuit.

This shot shows a CD 218 Hemingray-660 glass insulator along with five failed wooden pins.

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.

Here is a close up shot of just the lower CL&P crossarms.
