Wow....i don't really know what to say. Apparently the location is "East La Plata Missouri at County Road crossing 344"

Thats way north of me. On the transcontinental line, what year was that taken?

I would assume this year... see the date on the bottom right?

A crossbuck... on a wooden pole... with a wire through it... Sorry, sir. That result is invalid in my book.

Yeah you could be right.

Too bad it's off in the boondocks. Streetview will not make it there for a long time, if it all.

If you look closely enough below the bell mounting, the wire runs along the side of the post and not through it.

BITE ME

That's pretty neat in my books. They probably just had the bell lying around, and looking for a way to use it... Who knows! So many weird installations that make you wonder.
