Story
One of three "wants" matched from ICON, I was first respondant to list and got them all! Per Dale, Tthey where all found along side the railroad tracks. The CD 154 CIA we picked just north of San Luis Potosi. We found a few in that area, most were damaged. The AA was from nort of Saltillo. The Tel Fed we picked just south of El Paso, near the town of Villa Ahumada. It was within sight of a highway toll booth. I did not have a warm fuzzy feeling climbing the poles. The poles were right next to the highway. I was climbing down this one pole and I hear all this honking. I was facing the other direction and when the truck went by it was a railroad work crew. I guess they thought I was one of them."
