I took this pic a couple of weeks ago, hence the blue skies compared to the miserable gray from today's photos!

Every time I drive by this pole it always strikes me as being something of an oddity, and I've yet to figure out what this transformer feeds.

It's a normal-enough 11kV delta to 240/415V wye transformer, but both primary and secondary cables are underground and as you can see, there's not much close by. There is a tiny airstrip amid the open fields a quarter-mile or so behind, which I thought might account for lines being run underground at this point, but where does the secondary go?

It just seems too far away from anything else to have been installed here. [Linked Image]
