Austin Hall posted 2 presumably former L&N bridges over the Kentucky river in Clark county Kentucky Looking to see if I can get some more info I’m on these two I believe one or both are referred to as the ford railroad bridge. Colton Lewis: The top one is an active CSX line that runs to Richmond Ky. I work for Clark county sheriffs office. Had to chase a guy across it once, most terrifying foot chase of my career. The bottom one is abandoned. They both go to tunnels that are on the Madison county side of the river. [The top bridge in this photo is the southern bridge.] Joshua Denham: Rj Corman line. Brian Scott Phelps: Joshua Denham Corman may use it from time to time but it is a CSX active bridge. East Ky power has a power plant on the river bank. My father in law looked into getting rail service for the plant but CSX would not give them a contract unless they would accept 100 cars at one time. The plant does not have the room for that number of cars. David Morse: Joshua Denham CSX line. Corman has trackage rights for the aluminum train. |
The second bridge was used when the route was double tracked.
