Greater NYC lines tower guide
Here are tower guides of my favorite lines in the greater NYC area. On top you have the Pleasant Valley Millwood Sprain Brook 345 kV lines which cross I-84 (see photos below). I actually drew the deviation towers incorrectly, but like what I drew enough that I did not bother to change it. There is also one tower design in the wider cross-armed circuits that I also did not include. Next is the Branchburg Ramapo 500 kV line. These are standard PJM design towers, with two monopoles on either side of I-87. From left to right are tangent, monopole, angle, and deviation towers. Next is the Ramapo Buchanan 345 kV line (labelled on my guide Buchanan Ramapo, but that is a minor technicality), and this just includes the basic tangent and deviation towers. And finally, you have the Ramapo South Mahwah 345 kV circuits on the bottom right. While there is an angle tower used twice on the line, I only included the basic tangent and deviation, as those are my favorites. NB the gray towers on the PV Millwood SB circuits actually take on the design of the Ramapo South Mahwah line after the Millwood substation. I drew all of these towers myself in MS Powerpoint.
