Here’s a look at how the contractor for the Hughes Transmission line, Timber Line Construction, installed transmission lines north out of the Dry Fork Station switchyard. This part of the Tongue River section of the 230-kilovolt conductor goes over the top of rail spurs. They were able to pull five lines in less than two hours this morning.
