three questions

[NW Mailing List]

Several weeks ago, I asked about the location of a Link photograph taken on the way to Kermit,WV, and I got some information back which was helpful.
 
Subsequent to that, I have figured out that the pgotograph was taken at milepost 476.  So my question is:
 
1.  What is the easiest way to figure out where that milepost is ( short of walking the ROW and eyeballing ).  Someone had suggested a track chart, and there is one in the Archives, but I am confused about the availability of those documents.  Can I order one?
 
2.  Also, I was watching an old VHS tape last night that contained a number of shots of the old "photographers briudge" somewhere on the Blue Ridge grade.  Is the site of the bridge still accessible, and if so, where it it.
 
3.  Lastly, I have also noted pictures of a device that is supported over the rail bed, and has wires hanging down - like a horizontal comb.  What is that device supposed to do?
 
Thanks in advance for any and all help on any part of the above.  -------------------------------------------John C. AbbottWheaton, MD
