My grandfather worked as telegrapher for a few railroads one of them was DNRG. I still have his bug and his sounder. He told me once that using a Bug was considered cheating. He would retire as a Freight Agant after over 30+ years of service with DNRG, DNRGW, and DNRG action RR. I miss him and his stories of his time on the railroads.
Worked as a block operator with PC/CR/CSX for 39 years. Thanks for keeping our heritage alive for all to enjoy. I copied many 19 orders. From the dispatcher it would be: 19 copy (how many) and direction.
At 7:52, that bracket is called a Pig Ear amongst linemen. It dates from the 1890s to early 1900s forward. They were available in a close type for small glass, or a larger setback, to accommodate double skirt glass. Typical woods were red oak, locust, and osage orange wood.
The large aqua insulator seen in the opening shot, is actually designed as a power line insulator, suitable for streetcar use. The clear glass one is a bona fide telegraph insulator, a Western Union standard design, made by Hemingray Glass Co and others from 1938 to 1977.
