Thanks Tim!

It looks like you can see the pipe here on Maybeury Bridge. This is same bridge, taken from POV of the shed. the little structure at bottom left this photo is visible in the other photo too. Looking at both photos again, it appears that the water line was just installed, as there is an open trench in front of the shed.

Without taking time to dig out the exact particulars, the pipes were part of a 6-inch water line for steam locomotives that extended to supply tanks at the top of the grade.  If you will look closely at pictures taken at Cooper, you can see see that it was attached to the trestle, even in the final days of steam.

Another picture, another question.  The attached shows a couple sections of

pipe laying between tracks at the end of the bridge.  Many shots of the

electrification show such pipe sections beside the line on holders

specifically to cradle them.  I assume that these would have been used in

some way when repairing/maintaining the catenary.  Does anyone know how

this worked and why these pipes were needed?

Thanks again for your help,

Jim Cochran
