I am building a "transformer bank" on poles to place near my large elevator operation. As I was searching for photos and info this morning I found the Utility Pole Fan Page. I was a little surprised that the utility poles had a fan page but it was very helpful and I bookmarked it for future reference.

 

Btw,

I went out to photo a couple locally today and got several long stares. Local police may call on me if someone recorded my tag number

I used to collect glass insulators for a while and 400+ later decided I had enough.  When one looks at a classic line side pole the variety is great.  Different colors of glass, different shapes, different manufacturers. 

 

There is some fascinating literature out there on the various types of insulators and their specific use on the pole.  One of my goals eventually is to model accurate poles like the ones I grew up with.
