Westinghouse OV-20s! A treasure chest! Found over 80 OV-20s in this area! Could be well 100 as I couldn't ID some poles near it but looked similar to the ones in the lot. Used Google Earth to count them. They are in fantastic condition! Even the pole bases aside to a dent here and there. The dents aren't gonna hurt the pole in long term.

Westinghouse OV-20s!

A treasure chest! Found over 80 OV-20s in this area! Could be well 100 as I couldn't ID some poles near it but looked similar to the ones in the lot. Used Google Earth to count them.

They are in fantastic condition! Even the pole bases aside to a dent here and there. The dents aren't gonna hurt the pole in long term.

Yep that's the parking lot I was speaking of! I have been in that exact parking lot once back in 2005! Glad they are still there! Correct there was NO replacement anywhere?! And funny it was pretty deserted like the pic in 2005...but some stores are open.....

The ones in the pic...seems they are 1954 to 1960s versions....the one on the top right may be the 1954 ones....then overtime the one on the left is a bit newer...

None that I could see.

Listen, me and you should take a trip back there.

Does Hagerstown still have any MVs on the public roads? If so, then we gotta go back I need a good reason and excuse to go to Hangerstown LOL....Because I know some weird cobraheads there which appears to be Line Materials Cobraheads...but with a peahead style refractors!

Why you need a good reason to get over there?
GullWhiz   [Sep 10, 2011 at 07:06 PM]

It looks like there was two "sub-generations" varieties of the 3rd generation OV-20!

The poles themselves are easy to ID, they're Union Metal poles.

@Gull and FGS the lights in Hagerstown sound like the L-M Night Sentry.
