This line must have been upgraded shortly before GSU was bought out by Entergy. The white insulators are the types that were being used at that time.
Its seems at one time LUS considered changing from black to green poles for their new poles. There are very few of these green poles in the city but it seems LUS will stay with black poles.
This is the second time this line is upgraded. It was upgraded in 1991, but was still using poles as crossarms. The poles were severely buckled and bent so about 4 years ago these were upgraded to almost all steel arms. It's interesting to drive down Interstate 49 because they come up next to the hwy and then turn like this and head back off.
GE and EMD engines bring a potash train through the Gary neighborhood of Duluth. Tall brown powerlines often dot the landscape of this region. Steelton Yard and the Wisconsin state border are up ahead.
Demco is the cooperative that services a territory between the Mississippi river and I-55 in LA. Unfortunatly this is the only Demco pole I found on my trip today
Taken with my lomo lc-a, on jessops slidefilm, out of the window on the train back from London to Bristol
processed as if it was normal film, which is why it's so pink - it's cross-processing, it makes the colours funny - which is why i like it
Steel poles in the median that double as lamp poles. These are mainly in the Space Center Area. New replacements are plain wood poles
I'm only guessing at the voltage but sometimes these act distribution sometimes they act like transmission. Somebody give me an idea please?
I'd swear this is a new pole except for the fact that Entergy doesn't use black poles anymore and there's no mound at the base. The deadend and switches are new though.
Tuesday morning I drove to West Shore Parkway and Humpback Rd to clear some more trail with weed-wacker and 10"saw blade. Looks good.
