The Original "One" and "Two" Lines

These are the original "one" and "two" lines close to Rossland, taken in the early 1900's. You can see the Columbia River in the valley. I am guessing that "one" line (on the left) had the roofs removed and the conductors were being moved over to the open side of the structures on the right. This was in preparation to make room for the construction of the 60KV lines to be built on the same right-of-way. This photo shows U-934 Imperials on the left and U-935 Imperials on the right.
