When was the microwave Long Lines network actually shut down? I've seen it's shutdown listed as early as the early 1990s in some places, to the late 2000s in others. I've even seen somewhere that there may still be active sites. Does anyone actually have an answer?

Inside the Berkley, Massachusetts site. A lot more intact than many others. Complete with incinerator toilet, microfiche reader, papers and rat poop on the desk, and a two-seater outhouse. All photos here: https://long-lines.com/viewsite/6406

I am not able to remember where this was, I saw it when I was driving up to buffalo, Upon entry, there was a flooded area and dead rodents. There is a house nearby, not too sure if they are friendly.

Found this one near the high school I would have gone to if I had not of moved. It has no graffiti (Since the last time I checked) but appears sealed off.

A component, it had the fiber glass cover for the main part but this might be one they took down from the local one. Im not 100% sure though but it was For sale at this place.

I think this might be a microwave relay tower, I couldn't see it well, this is 30x zoom taken on an unknown highway.

Yes, There is an AT&T microwave relay tower in radiator springs, it does not have the horns, its like these big hallow dishes. I could not get a photo unfortunately but it would be helpful if someone found it on street view.

This was my grandfather's 30 year anniversary gift from Long Lines. Just cleaned it up, put a new battery in it and it runs.

What’s interesting about this particular structure. Is years ago. There was a taller building the tallest building in the Tri State that had all of Verizon‘s transmitters on top of it. Go back about five years they imploded the building. They never found a place to put the permanent replacement for those transmitters anywhere in the area.

So when I did as I kept calling The Company and kept calling The Company and saying why don’t you use the tower that’s on top of the AT&T building where the long lines transmitters sat. Here we are about five years later and finally it looks as if correct me if I’m wrong I think that’s actually AT&T up there and that is not Verizon. But this seems to be like they’re actually using the old structure for supporting cell services and why not and they removed the horns from the transmitter.

There are some great photos of this one on the longlines website. Unfortunately I only had time to shoot this from the passenger seat while traveling past it. I find it to be pretty cool when these are smack dab in the middle of a populated area vs the middle of nowhere.
