I wonder if Entergy built this grid for this neighborhood out of what they had left over in the warehouse. Hardly any of the poles match each other.
Looks like they changed crossarms and finally fixed the lean on these poles, although there are no brace poles or new guy wires. Many of the old insulators were reused on the new arms
The lines used to turn right here and go through the field. They were severely leaning and must have just recently finally been torn down.
Looking west from my house at sunset, the powerlines aglow. Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Seems strange that they would use a steel pole for a short 12kv pole replacement. They usually save the steel poles for tall poles or H-Frame replacements
The horizontal post pylon will replace the double circuit H-Frame pylon on the left. Look how long the 230kv polymere insulators are!

These run from east to west all the way across the state. They run into Texas, turn north, come back through LA and go up to Arkansas
Very old Entergy Riser poles. Only the bottom circuit is actually connected to the substation on the other side of the street. The top circuit now belongs to LUS.
