An old gang switch. Xcel replaced all the poles here sometime around 2017 and the switch went away.

AstroElectric, SW Ohio Lines, have particularly liked this photo

Yeah, those crossarm-level switches are going away FAST!

Quite a shame really. I know I have some close ups of one else where on the system.

And I got pictures of one on Fargo's 23.9kV system (with posts instead of the normal cap / pin multis) too.

I outta check out an old steel 24kV gang switch out by Durand, WI. It's quite similar to the one we've photographed in Baldwin but I'm willing to bet Xcel has done some sort of modification since the last time I saw it (which was back in 2011!).

I remember seeing these EVERYWHERE on distribution poles when I was a kid. Now they are super hard to even find.
