The transmission lines are just the hot legs. Neutral and ground get created on the secondary side of any transformers. So the concept of neutral and ground is "local".

I thought the neutral was the unshielded wire between the poles. That's how my house is hooked up...

--There is no neutral on power poles. Just hots. One, two, or three usually.

Just standard power like at home. Not three phase. It's an FM radio station. I would assume the hot is at top and neutral below, but it's been a while since I've seen it myself. Goes from HV on the road to the tower's (power/utility) pole with a transformer/fuse.
Two robins on Saturday. Starling a few minutes ago. No nests up there - maybe that's what they are trying to do?Josh Luthman

What kind of bird?From: Josh LuthmanSent: Monday, July 13, 2020 10:29 AMTo: AFMUGSubject: [AFMUG] OT: Birds going crazy?On Saturday we had a power outage. Beautiful day. Towers on batteries, but after an hour we head up there with a generator. Plug it in and we're good to go. Outage was caused by a bird on the pole and the fuse popped.Power company comes by, puts up a new fuse. Power is back. He gets in the truck and drives down the lane, about 50 feet, and *POP*. Another bird and fuse. Replaces another. Good for a few more hours.Then this morning - power outage AGAIN. A third "bird" on the ground below the fuse.
Obviously something's going on, being it's been three times in three days when this has never happened since ~2008. Maybe someone put peanut oil and the rodents are trading services?Josh Luthman
