Bad title for this game, but if my theories are correct, BNSF is going to remove the telegraph poles in this picture this year, except the one with the arrow pointing to it. Why will this survive the BNSF pole death? 1 week to figure out.

its providing power from the power supply to the signals?

That's my guess too.

Also there's a wire heading off to the left that may go somewhere useful.

Actually I think that is the incoming wire that is providing the power to the relay case... which obviously is my guess as well!

You're all right. There is actually now a newer relay case that is receiving power from the wire on the left. I like this method since I like the poles along the tracks. Boy quick game this. :Clap: :closed2:
