Seems the distribution has recently been upgraded from 7200V CGD as the branch heading south is new. It was a bummer to see the KPFs gone and the sub upgraded to full 3-phase. At least there's another nearly identical one at Selz (and that sub is wood).

The splices on the 115kV pole carrying the distribution is where the original 41.6kV/7200V CGD sub stood.

The presence of a shield line suggests to me that this 115 kV line has been rebuilt recently from the old poles with crossarms?

It was just the segment near the substation for now, I believe, but yes, they are starting to convert all the 41.6kV and 115kV lines to armless.
