So. Elliot St. Sub, Aurora, MO; EDECo.
I took this picture in July 2002. Believe it or not parts of this substation have existed since 1915. The building once housed transformers and rotary frequency converters. During the late 1920s a 132-kv line was constructed to the sub from the Ozark Beach Powersite Dam. Later, a 154-kv line was run through this substation from Riverton to Ozark Beach. Today 161-kv lines make up the backbone of the Empire District Electric Company's transmission grid. The portion shown in this picture is the 69-kv switchyard. Recent (circa 2012) aerial photos of the substation suggest it has been modifed further.
