I wonder what they charge to skip the jumping and just walk across the bridge. Whoops, they don't even sell tickets; they run it as a private club. [Kentucky]

Studying a Norfolk Southern Map, RJCC (R. J. Corman/Central Kentucky Lines) connects Versailles to NS at Lexington, KY. (The map is 75 million bytes, and it will test the performance of your .pdf reader and computer.)
