We don't know if these were the Wichita linemen. 
But it certainly looks like they were 
willing, ready and able to respond 
to line problems caused by winter snowstorms. 
Hmm. Wonder how many utility companies 
still outfit their crews with horse-drawn sleds? 
Vital stats: 14 men, 5 crossarms, 
eight pins per crossarm, 
insulators appear to be CD 106's or 102's.
