Welcome to the board,you should be able to get catenary plans from the PRR Historical group,as for the
scene in question,could use some background info as for location and time frame.

Brian,
Welcome to the forum! Could you elaborate a little bit more on the "Bride and Groom"? I'm not sure I'm familiar with this location.
Also, if you want precise details, diagrams are probably your best bet. Photos are nice, but they won't be able to give you quite as much information. Backshophoss had a good suggestion about trying the PRR historical societies for these types of documents. Maybe someone else on here could refer another source for this type of info?

I think he's saying the historical society didn't have what he needs. I've run into the same thing with some groups. You tell them what you really need and they send you 18 examples of the opposite  |
