CD 219 and CD 183 Hemingray glass insulators in service use

CD 219 and CD 183 Hemingray glass insulators in service use
Alley between E West St and E Simpson St just east of S Mulberry St, Troy, Ohio.

A shot of some old poles with some old lightning arresters, cutouts, and a pothead in Troy, Ohio. The glass insulators are CD 219 Hemingray 660's and CD 183 Hemingray-71's. Looks like a couple of nice white U-180 Ohio Brass porcelain insulators.

This is a nice picture! I like the old secondaries on the crossarms, along with the pothead riser. There appears to be a 13kV-class subtransmission line in the background. Do you have any pictures of the substation that feeds the lower voltage distribution here in Troy?

Thanks! Sorry no, just more shots and some close ups of the 13kv lines. When I got home and looked at the poles throughout this town on google maps I found a pole with 13 glass insulators on it. Need to get back there soon with all the upgrades going on.

Fantastic finds and shot! Troy seems to be the last place in DP&L land with so much of this old construction still up. I've only found one other pothead riser on DP&L, which is also in Troy.

Thanks! I shot two more poles with pothead risers, one a double, but I don't think they are being used in service. I would like to get back down there to shoot the rest of the old poles. I found on Google maps a pole with 13 glass insulators on it. I stopped here on the way back from the Mid-Ohio Springfield show to photograph trains when I found all the old poles.
