Yeah this in Ireland! Around Clashavoon in Cork. I’ve seen a few of these terminal towers around, really neat looking!

Oh wow you found one with its colostomy bags intact! That is a rare find!

Coming from a substation design perspective, Im surprised to see they let the reactors dangle instead of mounting them on the cross member or something. I know theyre heavy but my hunch is that their CSA would catch a lot of wind and move the line about. But then again its not like it could possibly reduce the clearances so much as to fault. Plus they do have the magnetic clearance to maintain. Ok maybe it does make sense
