These monopoles are approximately 40-45 years old. Their nearly century-old neighboring lattice tower has withstood the elements much better than this younger replacement for one set of the lattice towers.
NOTE...most of the right-of-way does not carry lines on the lowest tier, only the top three plus the shield wire.
These originate from the coal-fired steam generation plant in Kenosha, WI and the now de-commissioned Zion Nuclear Power Plant and terminate just south of Golf Road in Skokie, IL.
I saw this rust on a power box and just knew I could find a suitable quote.

I tested the rust antiquing set on different brands of clay to see if any particular brand worked best. I didn't see any significant difference. Here are the results, from photo top to bottom (left column used 1 coat of metallic paint; right column used 2 coats)
Premo (black)
UL Sculpey (white)
Fimo Soft (blue)
Kato (black)
Studio by Sculpey (green)
As you can see, it didn't really matter what color clay I used. (At least until I sanded off the finish -- see that here.)
