Creating railing for bridge

I am attempting to recreate this design using grasshopper from one curve:

Here is my attempt:

I am controlling the rail curve point by point but creates an overly complicated script which doesnt work when the bridge has a change of height.

And also having issues with this connection here:

Curious to see a simpler and more delicate solution to the one I am attempting.

Hmm…

that part is the point control, that’s what i was talking about the script being overly complex :confused:

To quickly answer your second issue, the connection failing is a result of not splitting the longer curve at the intersection point. This doesn’t result in the same look as your reference image, but you could adjust the tangency and point of intersection between these two curves.
