2 wires? Is that a DC line?
Yes. I lived 2 miles north of that line right outside Barnesville. Its 1 of only a couple big DC lines. The losses from the extreme length of that line warranted the extra cost to upsize the wire and make it DC.
That at least what the locals told me when I was living there.
