How to Electrify a railroad

[Green_Elite_Cab]

I think i saw a similar situation at sunnyside yard, towards the wash rack, but i can't get a good picture of the box catenary. The catenary was anchored on the second pole away from the turnout, but they first go out and are pulled aside at the bridge just before the turnout, putting them in alignment for the turnout. the catenary here is inclined, and like i said, the only problem is i can't find any pictures of the rest of the turnout.

Here is an example of how i think i can pull this off. THe blue wire will be the main wire, while the red one is the diverging. I'll add a triangular pull off, just like the ones in your photos, and that will pull the red wire to the side so that it is at the right angle to approach, and so it should all work out.

the only thing i'm not clear on is how the box catenary goes together (the deflectors as they call them in those PRR plans you linked to me). would they also be slanted like a parallellogram? or would the catenary straighten out?




in an unrelated note, that transmission arm i made above is too short, gotta add a couple feet to it, so i'll just unsolder these, straighten them out, an use them for the other pole.
