Add a ground-based photograph of the 1,333 kV line please! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.49.221.15 (talk) 16:59, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a historic photo, right? I mean, it doesn't exist anymore? I've removed the reqphoto tag unless more information can be provided. tedder (talk) 07:01, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

When was this experimental line dismantled? Or is it still standing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.46.215.32 (talk) 14:44, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I worked at the Celilo converter station from 2002 to 2008, and still work for BPA. I recall a meeting where they described the experimental line being "on the ground". The old DC building was in very bad condition up until it was removed as part of the upgrade project in 2014 (or maybe 2015).  I am not sure when the old DC line was dismantled, but probably at the same time.  One could probably ask the BPA library to supply some historic photos.  They do still exist. 73.96.122.175 (talk) 19:54, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I found some additional reference material online:
 * BPA did a travelling exhibit for the DC Test facility:
 * https://www.bpa.gov/about/newsroom/news-articles/2022/20220629-high-voltage-exhibit-comes-home
 * It has some contact information for inquiries: "Contact [email address censored by wikipedia] for more information."
 * The NEPA memo for the demolition project:
 * https://www.energy.gov/nepa/articles/cx-016382-high-voltage-direct-current-test-center-removal-project
 * They mention in the NEPA review that the building was eligible as a historic site. Likely on account of the research that was done there, which was at least notable.  I don't see the building on the registry.  I am told that they put up some kind of marker. 73.96.122.175 (talk) 20:39, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
