How to Electrify a railroad

[Green_Elite_Cab]

After a lot of thought, i may have to change the way i install the catenary. I thought i found a photo outside of Sunny side yard that nearly duplicates my dilema. unfortuneately, the picture cuts off before the actual turn out, and i cannot see the full wiring configuration.

the main wires appear to be inclined, with the pull offs being pulled along the curve to position them correctly, and they dissappear off the photo before i can see where they go next.

I get the feeling that they just act like any other catenary setup over a switch, but with the "box catenary" (known as deflectors) just misshapen to match the main track's profile.

In any event, i'm going to try and get the next catenary bridge built, but i might use a wire-cross span instead of a K-brace, since this makes the most sense as far as mounting pull offs. I'll have to see what makes sense.
