Railroad Bridge – Salt River – Shepherdsville, Kentucky
A rusty metal railroad bridge crosses the Salt River, a 150 mile tributary of the Ohio River that flows between Parksville Kentucky, and West Point, Kentucky. At this point the river is passing through Shepherdsville, before entering the Fort Knox Military Base to the west.
The river derives its name from Bullitt’s Lick, a historic salt lick west of Shepherdsville, that was the first commercial supplier of salt in Kentucky, and one of the first industries in the state.
