That larger switch yard is Whitpain - a major hub on the backbone that transmits power to Soudertown, Allentown area, and North Jersey. You should see four major transmission lines from Limerick to Whitpain. Beneath or adjacent to those transmisson lines may be a lower voltage distributon line that uses the same right of way to distribute power to local substations. Cromby has no direct connection to Whitpain.
Major hubs in the grid are obvious. For example, those traveling north of Flemington on Route 202 observe another major hub on the right as transmission lines from many directions converge on that switch yard. Electricity through these switching points would be quite fungible.
