When High Bridge was first constructed on the Jessamine/Mercer County line in 1876-77 it was for the simple utilitarian reason of spanning the Kentucky River gorge allowing trains to cross. No one could have imagined that the bridge and surrounding cliffs would become a spot near and dear to many. This relic from our past still easily accommodates the heaviest of trains, with one crossing about every thirty minutes during peak hours. A lucky visitor can sometimes see a northbound and southbound train simultaneously! In fact, this bridge lies on the busiest north-south route on the Norfolk-Southern Railroad line in the nation.This book is a photographic tour of the bridge and park as they were originally found, the rebuilding of the bridge in 1910-11 and into today's modern world.
