1925 Pope Lick Trestle east of Louisville, KY

(Bridge Hunter, Satellite)

This was owned by the Southern Railroad so it is now owned by Norfolk Southern.

06/14/2020 - Trying out my Mavic Mini at Pope Lick Trestle in Louisville, KY. Here's NS 172 with the NS Heritage Unit Lehigh Valley 8104 leading as they head westbound in the NS Louisville District. It's really fun to be up so high almost eye level with the train here. This is going to be my go to spot for drone videos and pictures because it's about as wide open as it gets around here.

J. B. Rail shared a similar view of a coal train with the comment:
05/11/2021 - Norfolk Southern Corp train 893 passes over Pope Lick Trestle in Louisville, KY, with empty coal hoppers from Tennessee Valley Authority Kingston Fossil Plant in Harriman, TN, headed back to Fransisco, IN, to get more black diamonds.

01/28/2021 - Perhaps the dynamic duo of the year so far was "Sonic Bonics" DC to AC rebuild units NS 4004 Blue Mane AC44C6M and 1800 Yellow Mane SD70ACC leading NS 124 over Pope Lick Trestle in Louisville, KY. The snow was definitely an added bonus!

This is a new perspective.

[An interesting load.]

I've been skipping some drone photos of this trestle, but as Javid Beykzadeh commented, this is a new view.

Norfolk Southern 219 crosses Pope Lick in Louisville, KY, eastbound in the NS Louisville District.  Normally this angle isn't good but with the cloud cover doesn't make it a bad a shot for the time of the day.

10/20/2023 - Norfolk Southern 336 crosses over Pope Lick in Louisville, KY, with Fall colors beginning to pop all around the scene.


In Sept 2020, I got hit with a Double Doomsday. Both Facebook and Google changed their software. I said "changed" instead of "updated" because the new software is not better. In fact, Google's Blogger software is far worse except for a search function that works. For example, it has three bugs concerning photos and their captions. So I'm no longer copying photos and interesting comments from Facebook. I'm just saving the link. Unfortunately, some of the links are to private groups.
