Rural Kentucky Railroad Bridge – West Point
A rusty metal railway bridge passes through a dense patch of Kentucky forest, and across the Salt River, just upstream from the Ohio River. The intricate structure and beams create a geometric pattern, while the train tracks lead the viewer through the structure and into the trees beyond. Located in rural area of Kentucky, near West Point, and Fort Knox.
According to the La Grange Railroad Museum – “There are currently six major rail operators of freight service in Kentucky and seven regional carriers operating some 2,400 miles of track in the state. These Carriers employ about 4,800 men and women”. Clearly an important source of industrial jobs in the state.
