Transportation in China in 1988

Power Pole - 24

You are looking at one end of an eighty-foot reinforced concrete pole. Is will be used for a power line somewhere. This young man is helping to steer the long load. There is a handcart barely visible that the weight is supported on. China does not have an abundance of timber available so most power and telephone poles are made of reinforced concrete. Also they make most railroad ties of concrete as well.
