Robert Moses Niagara Hydroelectric Power Station

Here's a shot of the Robert Moses Niagara Hydroelectric Power Station near Lewiston, NY taken from the Ontario side close to where the Sir Adam Beck Station is. Note the transmission lines that pass above the Niagara River that's fitted with some red and white "line markers".

Here's a closeup of one of some of the lumes on the top:

They're 250w HPS Cooper OVF lights, click to enlarge pic.

And Here's a Close Up of One of the Transformers:

Looks like there's a 175w MV yardlight lighting it up, click to enlarge.

Nice shot, here is a picture of the top of the station, seems it had a bunch of mercury GE but they are all being replaced with OVFs. Rolling Eyes

There used to be Westinghouse OV-25's all mercury vapor along the Boulevard of the Allies in downtown Pittsburgh PA until 2002 when they were all replaced with Cooper Lighting OVF's which are HPS.
