Young's High Bridge
Young's High Bridge is a former railroad bridge near Tyrone, Kentucky, USA, that spans the Kentucky River between Anderson County, Kentucky and Woodford County, Kentucky for the Louisville Southern Railroad.〔(Young's High Bridge ) at the Bluegrass Railroad and Museum website (retrieved March 1, 2013)〕 The cantilever bridge, named in honor of William Bennett Henderson Young, was constructed in 1889, and the first train crossed over on August 21, 1889. The bridge is 1,659 feet in length, is 283 feet above the river, and includes a 551 foot long cantilever span.〔(Young's High Bridge, Tyrone, Kentucky ) (retrieved March 1, 2013)〕
The bridge formerly carried traffic on the Lexington to Lawrenceburg Division of the Southern Railway.〔(Track Rehabilitation ) at the Bluegrass Railroad and Museum website (retrieved March 1, 2013)〕 The last passenger train crossed the bridge on December 27, 1937. It remained in use for freight traffic, which had dwindled by the late 1970s, and the last train to cross the bridge was in November 1985, after which the line was abandoned by the Norfolk Southern Railway.
In February, 2013, the bridge was sold to Young's Bridge Partners LLC, who intends to operate a bungee jumping platform on the bridge on behalf of Vertigo Bungee.〔(Old Kentucky River railroad bridge will become bungee-jumping platform ), dated 02/24/2013〕 An adjacent section of the railway line is owned by Bluegrass Railroad and Museum, who one day hopes to restore the line as far as the eastern end of the bridge.
