SECO was out in force, we were out and as we came south on Buena Vista, saw the first SECO truck at 466A, then 4 or 5 more by the time we got to 44, and then 2 or 3 more by the time we got to Powell.
I also worked for a major utility for 40 plus years (substation design), and I am familiar with the time required for switching facilities out of service (after the fault is found), applying safety grounds, getting repair parts, making the repair, removing grounds, testing if necessary, and returning the equipment to service.
The photo showed a line that appeared to by 69,000 volts or higher, with the repair 70 feet in the air, this does take some time to complete.
IMHO SECO did a great job.
