69-kV Bayonetted Single Crossarm Post Line
This late afternoon photograph of a former Missouri Public Service 69-kV transmission line with 12.47-kV underbuild, is located adjacent to I-70 between Higginsville and Blue Springs, Missouri. Unfortunately, it is now owned by KCP&L. Note the Lapp 69-kV ANSI chocolate brown post insulators on a single arm and the offset condition of this configuration. The shielding was added at a later date and uses a fixed bayonet with single OWG. Below the 69-kV line is a 12.47-kV underbuild to serve the farms located along this service road parallel to I-70. The view is looking east.
