I'll start the Thread, and maby LA Can make it a "Sticky" and then transfer those Vids STLmo1986 posted in the Vids Thread over here. This should be a neat thread of Linemen and Linecrews in "Action".:cool:

Thanks man! Never heard of such a thing!! WOW! Wonder if anybody on here has actually done that?

Conn. Loot & Plunder is in the process this week in Manchester Ct. they're in the middle of running a 4 miles of 345 line out of the sub to make a couple of two terminal lines out of a three terminal line. We've been getting a couple of notices a week telling the people in town of the deadending will sound like intermintant claps of thunder. They say it's cutting edge I've seen a splice that was cut open and you could hardly see the strands of conductor. As I recall the original video from a few years ago was filmed on the same ROW, CL&P bought into this big time and I believe that's all they use on transmission now.

That's really awsome....
Eespecially the part about "I've seen a splice that was cut open and you could hardly see the strands of conductor."

The Technology now days is truly Amazing. THAT is really incredible. Limited in it's use, Looks to be only usable in Transmission, I'd wager, but one cool Tool.

Really neat to see and hear about New stuff like this, as a retired Lineman.:cool:

[busman]

I found a few interesting videos on YouTube, that some may not have seen because they are in Spanish language, but they show a few things about electricity that some who don't work with it everyday are reluctant to believe:

A downed conductor that isn't sparking and jumping like crazy, but IS energized (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD4yWq_Xdu4)

The impact of current on muscle lock (graphic) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ591hRiH50)

I like this video for a couple of reasons.oNe is because of the way the guy talks and two,because this guy has just been through an earthquake and is filming powerlines!:nightmare:!NOW,most wouldnt notice but look at the primary turning the corner around 56 seconds into the video......have you ever seen that done before?First for me...........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw_v5qELR00

This video isnt so great ,but has anyone seen the pole grabbing tool that is shown about 17-18 seconds into the vid?Another thing I happened to notice was at 24 minutes 12 seconds into the video,it appears that Swamp is on the other side of the barbed wire fence.:D..enjoy the laugh :D....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQL7stp0Ms8

[reppy007]

Your going to make me look again:mad:....If so....thats pretty bad.

[reppy007]

Nice scenery ....however the poles are really close to the tracks,they supply the electric to the train also.....really nice,almost doesnt look real...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3_ANn64dt4

[reppy007]

In this video what do you see that you wouldnt do or what you would do?I have never used that type of gin arm......YoU? https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=A2KIo9Vp9KJVa3MAtIv7w8QF;_ylu=X3oDMTBzdm tvYW9lBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDdmlkBHZ0aWQDBGdwb3MDMjA-?p=vintage+work+horses+on+line+crew&vid=481291f9d9545391c4a46da0148b50f3&turl=http%3A%2F%2Fts4.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DWN.k S0ap4hF7q05ykPAKYeo6A%26pid%3D15.1%26h%3D168%26w%3 D300%26c%3D7%26rs%3D1&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DM aksjilTGk0&tit=DWP+Crew+Installing+new+Transformer&c=19&h=168&w=300&l=136&sigr=11bmjgoi9&sigt=113p98q5c&sigi=12k1r5f2f&age=1412784000&fr2=p%3As%2Cv%3Av&fr=yfp-t-901&tt=b

How many poles can 1 vehicle take down?Have you seen one that took more than 4 poles down?This driver needs to take up bowling...........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nk27DjReSg Now here is one where the pole takes out a car....and sadly the female driver.I wonder how many cars hit poles loaded on a pole truck.A friend of mine was riding in a pole truck when a vehicle hit it years ago.A guys head was sheered off his body.Another lineman told him to give the guy CPR.....so how you going to do that if the guy has no body?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sExQYx6qjkw

[reppy007]

Beside being a rule,and not what I would call a good rule.What is a good reason these guys are wearing rubber gloves and sleeves?I guess with rubbers on,that would prevent the guys from using their cell phones.But you decide.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEaTXr3v5c0

[lewy]

We don't wear sleeves, thank God. Why they would need to be wearing gloves could be because the secondary is still alive and they don't have class 0s, if the secondary is off I can't see any reason to be wearing rubber gloves.

Well lewy,well lewy.well lewy....from my point of view the secondary must be out cause the traffic signals are off.But its a possibility they are hot.Then I would argue why are the sleeves really needed in this case.The key word is really needed .

[reppy007]

Some of you might have seen this video,it was my first time ....anyway he we go ......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OKRxU3XyUo
