Not often do I see this style with copper wire! All those in use in my area are with ACSR wire.

Great find and shot there! Someplace near East Longmeadow, MA there are dozens and dozens of poles on 13.8kv construction with those old kimbles still up. I haven't been able to track them down to get photos of them ever since I first ran into them a few years ago though...

Thanks! They are still pretty easy to find around my area. Seems like northwestern Ohio actually have more in service though.
