When asked why men take jobs working atop 60-foot cre-
osote-covered poles in blistering heat or numbing cold, one
VEPCO lineman replied in a 1949 interview, “I’d go crazy
being cooped up inside an office all day.”
Lineman Jason George, of Fredericksburg, Va., is part of a
Dominion work force that has helped build a century of
strength and excellence. His grandfather, James P. Winfree,
worked for Dominion for nearly 60 years; his uncle, Kenny
Winfree, remains with Dominion in Portsmouth, Va.
Fowler Ridge I Wind Farm, jointly owned by Dominion
and BP Wind Energy, entered service in 2009 and produces
300 megawatts, enough electricity to power 75,000 resi-
dences and businesses.
Elwood Power Station in Elwood, Ill., supplies power to
two electric utilities.
Dominion is pursuing multiple natural gas transmission
pipeline expansion projects at this time.

“Modern” trucks such as this Virginia Railway and Power
Company Electric Service model from the early 1900s were
eventually used for heavy transports, but even in the 1940s,
nothing had yet to take the place of oxen teams for trans-
porting 60-foot poles through swamplands where tractors
would bog down and stall.
