Eerie Pictures Captured Throughout History That Will Take Your Breath Away

Lineman at the Busy Kansas Telephone Line Intersection in 1911

We are perplexed by this startling image of a lineman maintaining telephone wires at a crossroads in 1911 in Kansas. We still can’t tell how he distinguishes between so many lines. The construction and upkeep of the power supply for telecommunications lines are the duties of the position.

At the time, linework was taken as one of the most dangerous tasks one could do, which eventually led to the formation of labor unions. Members of these organizations assisted in representing workers and promoting workplace safety. Because of contemporary technology, the lines no longer appear as pronounced as they did in the past.
