Old City Light and Power, Indiana Michigan Power Utility Pole

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.
