04/20/2002 Tunnel catenarary
This shows how I have mounted some copper wire to the roof of the tunnel so that electric locomotives will have their pantographs lowered such that they can transition to overhead catenarary just before they leave the tunnel.

A wooden block with a hole the aize of the copper wire is simply screwed to the roof..

The wire can be pushed in and pulled out as required when soldering it onto the catenarary later..
