This line comes from a Substation in Birmingham, MO to 291, and splits. The Backbone part of the line going South to Sugar Creek, MO and a branch part of the line going north for 1/2 Mile.

69kv over 12.47-13.8kv. Off of 291 & 210 HWY.

Newly built Distribution Transformer Bank. Unfortunately, Evergy has made the switch to Fiberglass Crossarms as standard equipment, for the most part. You'll see find classic wood construction here and there.

You may not be able to see it, but there's a Abandoned Distribution Line in the Woods off of 210 HWY.

A Transformer Bank for a Conoco Gas Station on 210. The Insulators on the 69kv were replaced recently, not sure why when the other insulators weren't really that old.

Some restructuring going on the same 69kv over 12.47-13.8kv line pictured previously. www.ipernity.com/doc/322417/50699492 Don't worry, the 33kv Crossarm is safe... for now. Can we all agree that Brace-less Fiberglass Crossarms are ugly and a eyesore? On wood poles at least.

Two 4kv or 4160v Lines leaving the substation. Not for sure if the line on the other side is IP&L or MoPub's line. I think it's just MoPub's.

Former 34.5kv line entering the Substation.

Typical Junction Pole (I guess that's what you can call it.) with a Switch on both sides. You can find these what's left on the "Pocket Subs" in the Kansas City area. There are actually some operating at 34.5kv and still in service outside of Kansas City, mostly in the country of Missouri. 34.5 Sub-Transmission Line entering the Substation and a 4kv line leaving the Substation.

I’m not entirely sure if this substation has been decommissioned completely. This Sub use to run 34.5kv to (I’m assuming 4kv or 4160v.) years ago. I think it now runs 13kv or 12kv to 4kv now, I could be very well wrong. I was standing by the fence and I heard the Transformers still making a buzzing noise, so I’m a little bit confused now. This is one of very few 34.5kv “Pocket Subs” left on MoPub’s grid. I need to do a Line Safari in this area soon before KCP&L or IP&L decide to take down the rest of the 4kv System in this area.

I haven’t really came up for it name yet. This is a Mixed Media Piece I’m working on in my AP Art Studio class in school. I drew it, then colored it in Watercolor, Acrylic Paint, and Prismacolor Colored Pencils. It’s not placed off of anything, just something I came up with. A log cabin and a barn in in the Missouri Winter (When it actually snows). The poles are placed off of “Missouri Public Service Co” 34.5kv Sub-Transmission Poles and Single Phase Underbuild Distribution. This isn’t fully completed yet. I just need to add a few more details to the Road and Shadows.

8/14/17 Two 161kv Transmission Lines entering in a Substation that’s behind me in this picture. 161kv to 13.2kv I’m assuming. I need to get pictures of the Old Former 69kv and 34.5kv Lines in this area. I took this picture leaving North Kansas City Hospital.

7/24/17 The Kansas City Area had a huge storm that caused a lot of line damage across the metro area, but this is the only picture I have of a damaged Sub-Transmission Line. And KCP&L’s Classic 69kv Construction. There really wasn’t any damaged line in my area at all. And this was on my way to work and I didn’t really have time this week to explore around to found damaged lines or poles.

I found this about a a year or so ago, and I've been meaning to get a picture of it, but I keep forgetting or just don't have time. This is a Former Missouri Public Service 34.5kV that, (of course) is abandoned. Mostly likely was in the 90's by Aquila but I have no clue. I need to take a better look at this line. The main part of the line runs down US 40 HWY from Raytown, MO to Blue Springs, MO.
