Dranesville-Arlington 2 coaxial/fiber route

Comments:

Four medium sized brick structures comprise the former coaxial cable route between AT&T's hardend Dranesville switch and the AT&T switch at Arlington 2 (an Echo-Foxtrot control point). The huts have been made to look like houses with painted plywood ''windows'' covering up the original window openings. A current fiber route goes parallel along the grass median of Leesburg Pike (Rt. 7) apparently from Dranesville to Arlington 2. Huts do not have id tags and are numbered here in sequential order going east from Dranesville to Arlington 2 for identification purposes.
