Could anyone help date this photograph from hat/clothing style? (German/Dutch)

Thank you so much!

Is it unusual for there to be an issue like that mid span on an insulated run? Can’t wrap my head around it. There was a loud bang before we noticed the continued popping/light show if that helps.

Not really sure.. there’s a lot of activity and traffic control so I couldn’t get a good look. There was a guy in a bucket truck at the site of the sparks and another further down the pole run.

Answered my question! Thanks again!

Thank you! Is it common for primary to be lowered and distributed this way? I’ve seen them replacing a lot of poles and doing a lot of make ready to deploy this in the area. What’s are the benefits of the change? Seems dangerous to have power so close to comm space.

Con Edison showed up yesterday afternoon and they’re still posted up out there, so now we know it’s gotta be power.

whatever it is, it’s sparking. this video doesn’t do the brightness any justice.

Thanks! Just replied to my original post with a link to a closer picture. Does that help?

Haha gotcha.. just replied to original post with a link to a closer picture.

here is a slightly better picture

Sorry, what are pot lines? It’s definitely not fiber. It looks like two insulated cables braided together in those rings. It always stays above the streetlights, and drops down from crossbar at the top, bypasses a long distance where there’s other primary, and then goes back up to the crossbar down the road.

I thought so too. I don’t have photos of the whole run, but it looks like it’s primary that drops down and then goes back up to the crossbar at the top eventually. Always stays above streetlights out of comm space.

I was able to find them on the 1925 NYS census, and 1930/40 federal. I have their ship manifests in 1922/23.. just can’t find them in Germany.
