That pole is not a “telegraph” pole or a “telephone” pole. It’s an electric power pole carrying two conductors, a high-voltage “primary” conductor near the top and a ground conductor a few feet below the primary. The ground conductor is physically grounded to ground rod; the primary it typically in the range 10 to 20 Kilovolts.

That exploded pole was here in Chicago. We had a great lightning storm Sunday.
Here’s a link to a train platform getting blasted.
