JD Unipart U-908A Insulators in service use

JD Unipart U-908A Insulators in service use
I usually don't post just porcelain insulators in service use, However, I had two linemen say that these light blue JD Unipart (U # 908A) are rare and only used on this one sub-transmission line. They are used between Columbia City and Churubusco, Indiana.

These would be the U-908A style - they have that steel 'hat' instead of the normal porcelain top. First one I saw in person was at Springfield, so yeah, i'd say they're a pretty tough style.

Thanks for the info David! They had one at the Springfield show last weekend and a lineman I was talking to about it was saying how rare it was. He was from the northern Indiana area. Mike McLaughlin who is a lineman from Warsaw, Indiana said the same thing, and said it was only used on the one line. It sure was very heavy for its size.

Here's an example of the regular U-908 (albeit not in use): www.ipernity.com/doc/ndlinegeek/18520419
