Drawings of N&W Cantilever Bridge (Signals)

[NW Modeling List]

Mark,
I don't know of any drawings of these particular structures.  The one we 
scrapped out at Rawl, West Virginia last spring was pretty near 
identical to the photo you showed.  I have attached a photo of it with 
the new signal in the background directly behind it.  Of course, these 
signals were Position Lights when they were first erected.

That particular structure had the US Steel logo on it.  We could tell 
where the factory rivets were and the bolts used in the field 
installations.  In taking it apart, we could tell how it had been put 
together.
What is it exactly that you'd like to know?  I may be able to help you.

If you like, you can contact me off list at signalyard at yahoo.com

Does anyone happen to have good drawings of the N&W cantilever bridge?
(neither of the society's Signal booklets have this).

This is pretty essential for my layout. This is the one I'm talking about:
