Talltim Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I've been reading this thread http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1976 and until I did I hadn't realised how much more complicated US OHE is then UK stuff. I think I'm right in saying that we have no inclined catenery and definately no triangular catenery. Some nice modelling too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin_m Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Some of the US stuff - NYC to New Haven I think - was renewed by Balfour Beatty, probably 20 years ago now. The gantries were not replaced and apparently the best fit to them was to use the designs developed for the original WCML scheme in the 60s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Sometimes it's less complicated too. Here's the MILW in Tukwila, WA, Seattle, WA and 16 mile canyon, Lombard, MT. The more remote the MILW line got, the less the catenary infrastructure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
