The upper crossarms with multiparts held either 13 or 23kv conductors and was owned by the Massachusetts Electric Company. This line served the Mansfield Electric Light Department's main substation. This was among the first multipart pole lines that really captured my eye when I was a little kid. There was a stretch with a few Pyrex-271s that veered off down a side road that also were a real treat to look at!
