New insulators

I noticed B1 through Union had all new insulators this morning. Not sure how far in each direction that went, but it continued into the tunnel beyond where I could see.

Were they really new or were they just well cleaned?

Brand new, all over the OR line as well.

Yep. New. Totally different shape than the old ones.

New on left (Fiberglass), Legacy / old on right (ceramic).

I wish I had a section of third rail to display with them.

Leave it to John to have a set sitting on his deck out back.

About how much do they each weigh, John?

Fiberglass one roughly 5 lbs, Ceramic one with all the hardware somewhere just north 15 lbs.
