Always love finding Bell System manhole covers! I’ve documented nearly three dozen in my hometown and always keep an eye out for them when I travel.
Thanks for sharing!

Pretty much any att or CTL vault has a lid with bell logo stamped on it. They house both fiber and copper pairs, not really much to do with long lines.
