Going by captions from Edward Kaseman’s book on the S&NY, the photo from “Wordless Wednesday #30” was shot near Cold Spring after a winter storm on 15 February 1942 dumped over a foot of snow on the region. The heavy snow pulled down telephone lines, requiring repairs up and down the line, even though abandonment was only a few months away.
Johnnie McGrath is on the pole, and Bill Heskell and Raymond Howe observe from below, per Kaseman.
