These are Cleco's High tension wires between Carencro, LA and Lafayette. The bottom wire is actually part of LUS's Fiberoptic network.

Heading out now on the Powerline Trail. The trail was cut in the early 1900s to aid in the installation of (surprise!) powerlines. It runs for 10 1/4 miles from eastern Kapa'a to Princeville, providing changing views and often changing weather as you head from north to south, from the coast, inland.

If you look at the full-size image you can actually see the power lines! Complete with copter balls!

I'm thinking about adding some texture to this one.

All of Slemco's H-Frames have double cross arms. These were built in the late 90's due to expanding needs outside of Eunice, LA. Almost all Slemco H-frames have one or two 12kv circuits following them.

The old H-Frames were changed to the new mono pole design to make use of the old right of way.

Hooks were used to add the top wire. Because the trees grow so rapidly here, this is a common site to see them growing into the powerlines. Slemco and LUS actually regularly trim the trees around their lines.

LUS changed this pole with the last two weeks.

A view of the full VR-V/Line collection in Dec 2011. 7 locos and 58 wagons in total. Financial pressure and having to make choices has meant the sale of most of what you see here.

Since Cleco abandoned the really thick crossarms used in the 90's, they've returned to using double arms for recloser poles.

These were replaced last year.
