Along Simpson St are many old steel towers that support the old power grid in Troy, Ohio. These old steel towers could possible be up to a 100 years old.

In this shot looks to be 13kv transmission line over 4.16kv which is uncommon these days. The two glass insulators on the bottom steel crossarm are CD 183 Hemingray - 71's that were most likely used on a series street lighting system that is now abandoned. There two more CD 183's higher up on the tower, one which can't be seen. The second glass insulator on the second steel crossarm with still a cable tied to it next to the tower is a CD 219 Hemingray - 660.

The electrical grid system in Troy, Ohio is very ancient with a lot of old poles and unique old structures.
