CD 230 glass insulators used on series street lighting circuits

CD 230 glass insulators used on series street lighting circuits
1425 West Washington St., Bluffton, Indiana

A shot of a series street lighting circuit poles in Bluffton, Indiana. The six glass insulators are CD 230 Hemingray 512s along with an old mercury vapor street light. The wires leading off to the right go to the ballpark lights, thanks to IE_RICK for pointing this out.

I hope to get more active on ipernity and will start getting caught up on viewing and commenting on my contact photos starting tomorrow.

I'm not exactly sure what's going on here (doubt it's a series regulator pole), but I love it!

Thanks! Thanks to Rick I added that info to my caption. I knew about the ballpark off to the side, I guess I should of mention it in my caption earlier. I also wish I would of shot a slightly wider view to get the complete pole in view.

That's an awesome setup there! Looks like those street lights are now run in parallel. I really wish we still had old street lighting stuff up in the air here in Connecticut.

Thanks! I still need to photograph about 30 more poles in Bluffton. I found two more regulator poles plus some other good stuff on street view. I just hope that stuff is still up since some of it has already been changed over.
