The San Juan Extension was originally built with CD 126 "Blobtop" Brookfields with the 55 Fulton St. address. Colors ranged from the typical light blue-aqua to medium yellow-greens. Many remained in service to the end. Replacement glass that I saw were Hemingray No.40's and Hemingray-42's.
Anytime anyone wants insulators, I am your guy. Just let me know. I sent two boxes of about 50 each off today to a couple guys. One just wanted them to collect, the other wanted to build a line.
