This is Slemco's substation for Northeast Evangeline and Northwestern St. Landry Parishes

Not too common on a Cleco 13.2kv pole.

These giant towers have to be erected for the the high tension wires to cross the shipping channels.

The old Central Hudson Saugerties 69 kV substation, which was located on the east side of the Thruway Exit 20 northbound ramps and toll booth. The new substation (about a third of a mile to the north) was in service and the bypass of the old sub with the 69 kV circuits completed when this was taken. The old sub was demolished a few weeks later.

So what's going on here then Joel? Why run power underground, then up these poles to distribute it to houses, and not just into each house underground?
