Is it possibly AT&T's old network?

This network runs through our service territory, too.  The horns are distinctive.

Hi Folks,

I find myself driving down Route 66.  On our way through Arizona, I was 
surprised by what look like a lot of old-style microwave links.  They 
pretty much follow the East-West rail line - where I'd expect there's a 
lot of fiber buried.

Struck me as somewhat interesting.

It also struck me that folks here might have some comments.
