A real classic, this old pole (late 1940's) was built by the long gone Mountain States Power Co. and is still in service. The 3 part multi's are insulating 60,000 volts. It may not be here for long since the new utility owners are currently replacing old poles on this line, much to my dismay. Across the road are poles of the competition, Blachly-Lane Electric Co-op.
