This double dead end H structure pole is just before the switch station and right next to the highway. It is definately an original structure since the poles are untreated, gray, weathered cedar and every insulator disk is a pyrex. Some are brilliant orange carnival and really stand out in the sun but are mixed with the lighter colored variety. Unfortunately, the sun was clouded over when I snapped this shot...typical Oregon!
