One of my favorite power poles situated on a hill in the field behind my house. It is just old enough (circa 1953) to have been installed by the Mountain States Power Co. The tap line ran up the hill to a transformer pole to serve a house (now abandoned and removed). Originally, MSP had a single phase (2 hot wires) 2300 volt line on this pole and it was double dead-ended on this pole on 4 clevis brackets with spools to start the steepest portion of the line up the hill. In 1955 Pacific Power & Light Co. had taken over MSP and upgraded the line to 7200/12500 volts Y. Since this only requires one hot wire and a grounded (neutral), PP&L added triple 6 inch suspension bell insulators both directions for the hot wire and left the original spool brackets on the other side of the arm, (visible here) making that wire the neutral. Then, sometime in the 1980's Tillamook PUD upgraded the line from 7200 to 14,400 volts and had to replace whatever brown pintype PP&L had with the sky blue 2 skirter (U-876sim) shown here. When I moved here I liked this pole because of all of the above mentioned and it was also visible from my house.
