Commonwealth Edison Taylor Substation (Chicago, Illinois)

USA / Illinois / Chicago / Chicago, Illinois
 electrical sub-station  Add category

345,000 volts (underground lines) coming from the Crawford generating station and the Burnham substation enters this substation and steps down to 138,000 volts for downtown distribution. In 2008, 345,000-volt lines were constructed underground up to the West Loop substation, 3 miles from here.

In fact, that you can't see the 345,000 or 138,000-volt transmission lines and towers, they are buried underground!
