230 kV Transmission Switch and Line Intersections

Starting from the left: 115 kV with 12.5 kV underbuilt, 2-230 kV lines on the steel poles, and old 55 kV lines used as 12.5 kV distribution

One of the 230 kV lines dead-ends, the other heads into this switch

Up close of the switch, old style 230 kV

From the switch, the line intersects the line running across the photo
