This line was completed in 1905 driving street lights and two massive cotton mills. It was built to later power an electric railway that never came to be. Poles and towers were used, towers crossing valleys. In 1967, the line was replaced by a single circuit 13.2 kV line using ugly stuff and later, in 1988, came to be what it still is today, a line post line.

Update: its a super early Victor, but sitll made by Locke. Mike Spadafora tells me this might be another variation of U-670A.
