This pole is waiting to be stripped and the power stuff will disappear. Three mighty expensive Cooper hydraulic reclosers and the controls, several U-880A 2 skirt insulators, fuse cutouts, lightning arresters, hardware, crossarms, bits of wire and connectors will all be re-claimed soon and the pole will be cut and the top removed, leaving the rest for tel. and TV cable. Why?...only because it is not in the current alignment of a recent 25kV line rebuild. On the Tillamook, (OR.) P.U.D. system. Credit goes to Dave Dahle for correct identification of the recloser equipment. UPDATE: This pole is now cut off just above the tel. and TV cables and was probably given to Embarq Communications.
