Highest trestle in America over a navigable water way at 308 feet above the Kentucky River!  High Bridge, Kentucky.  Double track Norfolk Southern main line known as The Rate Hole Line goes over the trestle on the Cincinnati to Chattanooga line.  This busy railroad is owned by Cincinnati and leased to NS.  Close to 40 trains a day cross this line and call the signals on 160.515 and use 452.9375 for the end of train device ( FRED ).  This trestle was built in 1911 and uses the original concrete and rock bases constructed in 1876 for the original bridge.  The bridge is 1,125 feet long and was double tracked in 1929.  It was the tallest bridge in the world until the early 20th century.  High Bridge park was reopened in 2005 after being closed since the mid 60s.  It has an open air dance pavilion, a playground, a viewing platform that over looks the bridge, some rocks and some other junk that I didn't pay any attention to.    We saw 5 trains in the 4 hours that we were there.  The last time I went through High Bridge was in a boxcar back in the mid 90s.  Lol!  This is a very difficult place to film trains.  Trees make it impossible to film on the north west side of the trestle and the late after noon sun shines right at the viewing platform on the south east side.   It is very difficult to film trains here unless you have a drone or you film in the winter.  This trestle is located at MP 103 on the CNO&TP with Cincinnati being MP 0.  Filmed September 5, 2020 CE.
