    I'm guessing that's old cable they're removing?

    Is it the tug line? Fiber optic tubing gets pressurized with compressed air, there is a 'piston' on one end...but the line is flat white webbing.
    Be surprised it would trail out that smoothly otherwise.

    The exhaust pressure from a shop vac will send a line with a 1/2" nut tied on the end 500 feet through a 1 1/2" conduit with enough velocity to travel an additional 200 feet
