Some restructuring going on the same 69kv over 12.47-13.8kv line pictured previously. www.ipernity.com/doc/322417/50699492 Don't worry, the 33kv Crossarm is safe... for now. Can we all agree that Brace-less Fiberglass Crossarms are ugly and a eyesore? On wood poles at least.

When I was little, I always wondered why there was this odd crossarm out of the bunch. That was before I even knew what a 34.5kv was, or even saw a active one in person. One of the remaining pieces of prove that a 33kv once ran the landscape along MO HWY 291. Of course, the line is now running at 12.47kv-13.8kv. Once upon time, there was a KCP&L 69kv over 33kv or 34.5kv Line that ran from the Liberty Area (Missouri Public Service Area), to Independence/Sugar Creek Area. It hoped on the Liberty Bend Bridge, once it hoped off heading south, I have no idea where it goes from there. I have pictures of it from the 1920-1940's on the Bridge and going along what was once called the "71 Bypass", now 291 HWY.

Two 4kv or 4160v Lines leaving the substation. Not for sure if the line on the other side is IP&L or MoPub's line. I think it's just MoPub's.

Former 34.5kv line entering the Substation.

Typical Junction Pole (I guess that's what you can call it.) with a Switch on both sides. You can find these what's left on the "Pocket Subs" in the Kansas City area. There are actually some operating at 34.5kv and still in service outside of Kansas City, mostly in the country of Missouri. 34.5 Sub-Transmission Line entering the Substation and a 4kv line leaving the Substation.

I’m not entirely sure if this substation has been decommissioned completely. This Sub use to run 34.5kv to (I’m assuming 4kv or 4160v.) years ago. I think it now runs 13kv or 12kv to 4kv now, I could be very well wrong. I was standing by the fence and I heard the Transformers still making a buzzing noise, so I’m a little bit confused now. This is one of very few 34.5kv “Pocket Subs” left on MoPub’s grid. I need to do a Line Safari in this area soon before KCP&L or IP&L decide to take down the rest of the 4kv System in this area.

A close up of the first pole in the picture.

A drawing of street with some old 2 Phase Poles feeding some houses. That's really it. Obviously, it's not finished.

Did this for fun. Just a drawing of a line with 115kv over 69kv and 13.8kv. I kinda messed up the 69kv line, it looks like a 34.5kv line.

Just a quick drawing I did in class the other day, I was getting a little creative. It's 115kv over 69kv over 13.8kv. The 115kv part is loosely based of of the Otter Tail Power 115kv line with Line Post insulators David D. has in his gallery.

Well... I geuss I'm ready for the Missouri Vallery Insulator Show. I won't be displaying, but I'm bringing them with me in case I want to trade or something. This isn't even my whole collection. I have a few somewhere in my house that I can't find.

Just a shot of the Sunset and Transformer Pole. Barely made it back form the store to get this shot of the sunset and pole.

A nether shot of the same old Transformer Pole that you see every time I got down to Arkansas.

This is the only time of the year I could a picture this pole at this angle. I had to stand where normal there are crops.

It was so dark and gloomy today... Although it's the winter time. I might have a better camera next time I'm in Arkansas, but I think this one came out nice.

The same old Transformer Pole that you see every time I got down to Arkansas. Just a better shot.

Just old Pole Tags on the Transformer Pole that feeds my Great Grandmother's house.
