Missouri Public Service - Independence, MO

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.

That's one way to disable a switch. :)

I can see how one can't be sure if it's still live or not - that circuit leaving underneath the switch rack is definitely open. Perhaps there's a circuit leaving underground via riser or a second overhead circuit?

Lewis Perkins replied to David Dahle:

Yes, there’s one other 4kv line leaving the sub. And next to that line is a Independence Power and Light 12kv line that use to be 4kv. There also use to be a IPL 12kv to 4kv sub north of this picture.
