Here's a few more for today. First off is a nice closeup of a pole full of oddball ramshorn styles. I believe this is out on the east coast somewhere, nice view of train in the distance too.

Here's a view of the first railway suspension bridge at Niagara falls circa 1860:

Last one for today. The caption says either Port Hope or Baltimore. The insulator on the ridge pin looks like a 742 threadless to me.

Nice photos everyone, keep posting. I like the one of Elgin St. in Ottawa especially, lots of nice stuff on that busy pole. The Elgin/Sparks/Rideau Sts area in Ottawa seems to have been fairly busy in the threadless era.

The Montreal Telegraph Co's Ottawa office was on Sparks Street. At that time the major telegraph routes out of the city ran to Prescott and Carleton Place, with a line to Montreal along the old Montreal-Ottawa road. There were other feeder routes as well. The two train stations in use at that time were in Lebreton Flats and Lowertown.
