Pitts' scrapyard
30 years later, these two poles confuse me. The height and arrangement is consistent with railroad practice, but all except one insulator were porcelain types commonly seen on power lines! Maybe the scrapyard used to have its own power plant?
Long gone of course - the city bought the scrapyard, cleaned up the area, and made it an extension of nearby Falls Park.
