Art Deco bridge input

Alright, plenty of examples as to how to handle the bridge. Can anyone explain how the trolley wire would be secured under the bridge?

Yes, there would be a board with wire hangers on it.

There's a bridge I see every time I play softball in east Baltimore where the old WM spans a divided two lane road (the Gwynns Falls Parkway) - it has exposed steel, where the girders are cut into an arch on the bottom for aesthetic reasons. I could do that I suppose. Show of hands?

Slight correction. That's west Baltimore near Mondawmin. There's a similar bridge just down the WM line crossing North Avenue behind Coppin State.

You're right, because I go east to play softball, in Druid Hill Park from Ellicott City, I mis-spoke.

Ed, thanks for that photo. I am completely clear how the wire passes under the bridge. Now I have to figure out how much clearance that Peter Witt will need. Man, I hope they redo the horrid PCC car while they're in a trolley mood.
