Former Kansas Gas & Electric 138-kV lattice steel double circuit transmission tower with dual shielding wires is located east of Wichita, Kansas. The tower's age is late 1920s and very early 1930s vintage. Note the use of V-String insulators as it crosses a major highway (U. S. 75) and the fact that it is only a single circuit energized structure. Kansas Gas & Electric merged with Kansas Power & Light to form Westar Energy in the 1980s. This portion of the system is considered the Southern District of Westar Energy.
