Not sure if they still exist but east of SF on 580 (Altamonte pass?) I think there are still some.
- scrumbledober 7y agoI don't think there are any left that are visible from the freeway. I remember them being touted as a newer more efficient design, I wonder why they have been replaced by more traditional designs?
