Hi All:
The 162.4 1678s in dark olive green all pretty well originated on a private spur line to a mine/mill out of Grenville Quebec. The insulators from this line were fed into the hobby through 2 guys, from the lineman who wrecked out the line while working for Hydro Quebec.
I have not heard of the olive 162.4s being found anywhere else.
That's the story as I've heard it 2nd hand.
Good collecting .............. Robin
