These were just upgraded this year. Actually quite funny to see Entergy do a full upgrade on a circuit (poles, lines, insulators and all).
View east at jct of Binnewater Road and Lawrenceville Rd (Rt 213, SH 1419) in the former Village of Rosendale - June 1976. The Rosendale RR trestle (then part of Conrail) is in the rear, along with Riccardi's Exxon, which was demolished when NYSDOT rebuilt the road in the early 1980's. Central Hudson 4160 v wye distribution, single phase CSP transformer. Note the old spool insulators. This pole was also replaced when the highway was rebuilt. Taken with my dad's Rolleicord camera with Kodakcolor 120 format color print film.
This one was replaced last Thursday. Those transformers were just added but the old pole was so rotten it couldn't handle them so it had to be replaced. It seems LUS may be switching to these redish brownish poles. I've seen three or four go up this past week. They were still using black poles up until then.
