> Yet in all your self-important pontification, you fail to actually indentify what the code lines are at the edge of the photo.

They are not code lines, as you so self-importantly claim. They are, however, AT&SF signal line wires, which is self-evident by the cable from the post next to the block indicator which heads in their direction. But you already knew that and conveniently over looked it.

>I never said they were code lines for AT&SF, and it is clear the pole line is adjacent to the Espee.

This may be the first correct thing you have said so far: that you never said they were code lines for the AT&SF. They are, however, signal line wires for the AT&SF. The SP's signal lines were on the other side of the SP. At any rate, any pole line in this area would be parallel to both railroads, which obviously you knew beforehand having had all those decades of running trains through this area (on both railroads).

> Clearly your fixation on some minor point indicates your only friends in the world are screw cap wine and masturbation.

Your attitude says that all you want to be is a sexologist (a f***ing know it all). Interested peole want to know the facts, all you want to do is bloviate.

FWIW there are BNSF code lines in this area now, direct burial ones. On the former SP, there isn't even a signal system.
