Highest Railroad Bridge In United States Over Navigable River! High Bridge Kentucky Trains!

- 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.
Thanks for watching!
Please thumbs up and watch another JawTooth video to help my channel.
Check out my steam train playlist for some really cool videos including the Big Boy! I also have other railroad videos of all types including short lines, street runners and cabooses in action. Please watch another video to help support my channel:

Been across that..... Looks super high from a open boxcar!
Lol
I rode across that same bridge in a boxcar in both directions! I was looking for my pictures of it to put in a video. Also, Stobe rode across this same line a few years ago. We all three have something in common. Lol
how did this box car idea happen
@@southernrailwayfan1338 it happens when famous rail CZcamsrs criss-cross the nation on trains.... ;)
Search their names for more adventures
Michael Mccarthy can you give a link
@@southernrailwayfan1338 YT search instructions they pop right up.
Hobo Shoestring, Stobe the Hobo, and Jawtooth.
While you're at it, Ran out on a Rail for solitude background video while eating dinner...
Let’s all just take a minute to appreciate how well that bridge did it’s job, not even a single rail car fell off the side. Outstanding.
As long as Tooth's videos have 3 things: (1) "Start the video son"; (2) "But wait, there's more!"; and (3) the signature wave at the end, I am good.
Lolz!
@@JawTooth Just needs the "Woo" you used to do as well !
Can't forget the "Live Action" or the very popular "Pretty Cool" exclamations either.
I like the live studio applauds 😁
The bridge is so massive that the train looks like an HO scale model
Lol I know right
Lol that’s my favorite scale
That's awesome! And that first train BOMBED across that 1911 bridge for LIVE ACTION train shots!!
American freight trains at their best in Kentucky scenery at its best, fantastic. The 100k subscribers looks good, but there's more. Thanks again Mr. Tooth.
I just love that scene where the NS train goes on the bridge and the hawk just soars with it.
There is NO Stop 🛑 in JT just because he Hit the Huge 100,000+ Milestone. 😬 Great Video. 👍
Thanks for that!
Great work as usual Brian. Thanks for making the trip!
And the Oscar for best cinematography goes to...Jaw Tooth! Nicely done! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, thanks!
Awesome video. Beautiful scenery. I was fortunate enough to go over the Kinzua Bridge many yrs. ago before a tornado in 2003 I believe destroyed part or most of it. Knowing from watching your videos how you get around you probably took the steam train across it too. You are making me want to get a plane ticket and fly East to Pittsburgh and rent a car and drive to Altoona and do nothing but enjoy all my railfan areas for a week. Perfect time of year. Last time I was at the rail fest in Altoona was in 98 or 2000. I think that’s when the big merger was with CSX Conrail and NS. I just remember both times the weather was cold and wet!
Omg, that sight & sound from directly under the bridge was the best, what a treat! Awesome catch!
Thanks a lot!
Congrats on 100k 🎉🎉🎉🎉👍
Thank you so much 😀
1:04 I didn’t realize how big the bridge was until I saw the train on it wow
Hi Brian! Thank you again for all of your efforts in sharing these great videos from all over the country. I have been through Kentucky on I-75 but I doubt I would ever have a chance to see this bridge in person for a while yet.
I am glad you included the placards with the stories of the bridge and caboose. The bay window is all I run on my HO scale layout. They did a beautiful job restoring it.
Carry on Sir!
It is easy to get to and there is plenty of parking at the park at this bridge. It is a really pretty place to visit and you will never forget it. I recommend checking it out. Thanks for watching Jeffrey!
Awesome scenery with a bird of prey circling high and a good old mixed freight moving along in the middle.
Congratulations on 100K subscribers! Alot of action on that bridge. Cue the turkey vultures. A little bit of everything on the second manifest including a DPU and a monster @6:15.
Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍
Thanks 👍
That was a very awesome high bridge shots there Jaw. I enjoyed watching those trains going over that.
Again thanks for your dedication and sharing such moments of now history.
Love you’re sharing here bloke.
Thank you.
Stay healthy over there.

Awesome video, Jaw Tooth. Great camera work, and you really captured the feel of that mighty bridge.
Great post from my home-turf, Brian! Many memories rail fanning at Highbridge......I miss fanning the switchers at the Danville Yard the most, though. We used to sit in the side lot on the Seller's/Corning side and watch the switcher's work. Nothing like the feels of a yard switcher as it chugs past you. No whistle, no bell...just pure EMD beauty. Sure wish NS hadn't shut it down.
Excellent video, thanks JT. One day maybe I will see this bridge for myself. Best wishes from the UK.
Amazing how that bridge makes the train look like an HO train set.
Lol I know right
Wow! Not only long and high but HUGE bridge.... I realize that when the train appears the first time. I've expected a bigger train!!! 😂
Great! Wonderful job son !!!
I love this, randomly came up in my feed! seen a later video you did on this bridge JT, not seen this before. Absolute stunning. Those trains make a fab sound going over the bridge. Beautiful piece of engineering. Oh my it is high! ❤😊👍
keep coming back to this one...that bridge is really something
Another great video Jaw Tooth! Rode behind the 4501 over Copper creek via duct coming from St. Paul Va. back in the early 90's. I thought that was high enough without having wings. Mr. Shoestrings ticket was alot cheaper than mine. lol!!!
Nice SOUTHERN caboose and the highest train trestle I have ever seen! Very great view of the NORFOLK SOUTHERN mixed freight with DPU unit. The third train was very long with very beautiful scenery. Nice view from under the trestle to. OUTSTANDING JAW TOOTH!
Thanks for doing a video on this Jawtooth! I spend alot of time railfanning there! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Could be your best video yet JT.
That’s one awesome bridge. The sound of the train on the steel bridge was excellent
Thanks for sharing, Cary
Thanks Cary!
Wow beautiful video thanks for sharing! 😍🌹🌹🌹🌹👌
Thanks for visiting
Cool, it's nice to see trains from different perspectives
Nice looking bridge. Thanks for the video. Edward
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video! Wow, what bridge!!!
Cool bridge, got some excellent shots and angles !!
Nice video Brain! Loved the shot of the train on the trestle. High Bridge is neat because it's an engineering marvel but i never knew it was the tallest in America.
Very beautiful bridge awesome I love your channel
Congratulations on 100k Jawtooth, these birds certainly know how to perform in front of a camera.
Lovely piece of engineering.
Another great area to record trains, beautiful scenery, awesome bridge nice catches, excellent work Brian !
Loved the video keep up the good work;
- Larry
Awesome video Jawtooth!👍👍 I've always wanted to go there!
Awesome video!! I've been there twice, for a my cousin's wedding and recently for my nephew's wedding!, it's Beautiful there!!
As always a great video!! Beautiful, so scenic, it reminds me a smaller but similar trestle type train that crosses the Bronx river,for Amtrak,can't get enough if ur videos
El condor pasa, seeming in fact to be celebrating the crossing of the first train. The builders of these bridges loved to use words like "noble" to describe them. Noble video, too. Thanks!
Jaw Tooth’s videos are my favorite. His personality is what makes them the best!!!! Loved the LaGrange video where his wife “Mrs. Tooth” showed up in the video.
Fantastic video, great viewpoint
Congrats on 100K Brian! Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
Beautiful video as always. Jaw tooth hits a well deserved 100K.
If only there were such a giant trestle bridge in my neighborhood when I was a kid, I would have climbed, dived and stood the nearest of passing huge trains over my head, hearing hell over sounds or even staring hours and hours at flying majestic eagles until sunset forgetting school time... Thank you for sharing.
That sounds like me when I was younger. I use to love walking over trestles. Some of them have little stand off platforms in case a train comes. I have stood on those platforms when freight trains and Amtrak went over. Lol. I doubt I would do that today though
@@JawTooth I guess you could, because it's clear you enjoy exciting and risky experiences.
Nice catch! 👍
Cool, thanks!
Man I’ve been watching you for a while. I just want to say your videos are fantastic. Thanks for what you do. Subscribed.
Excellent video Brian.
Awesome video congratulations on reaching 100,000 subscribers .
Just imagine the trains that went over that bridge! Old steam to new diesel, it has seen them all. Awesome video Mr. Tooth!
Thank you very much! Tomorrow I have a video with another huge trestle
@@JawTooth I look forward to it 😊
Thank You for sharing, always enjoy your video's. Another in the area is the Tyrone High Bridge at the Bluegrass RR Museum.
Cool, thanks! Yes I have filmed that one also. I rode the train there a few years ago and filmed the Lincoln Funeral train there
@@JawTooth I figured you may have, I have collected date nails for 40 plus years and explored a lot of old long gone lines in KY, also the Pea-vine in the late 80's around Norwood. Thanks Again!
That's given me another location to check out on my way to Chattanooga in 2 weeks. Had no idea about this.
Thanks Jaw Tooth!
That is a truly industrial scale bridge! I will have to visit that location someday. It looks like a great place to take photographs!
Great video JT! I take my son there to watch trains occasionally. I've seen people walk all the way the bridge! Just a few miles south of that location, just south of Harrodsburg, KY the The Louisville division connects with the CNO & TP. Lots of train traffic there about 50 trains per day. There is an old wooden bridge you can observe from.
Wow that is some high bridge. That made it easy to name this location.
I love Kentucky. I used to live outside Rockport Indiana and would look forward to going to Owensboro Kentucky on the weekends. I have no clue about this place but I'd love to see it. I haven't been back in that area for 30 years but I miss it. Thank you for showing your beautiful home state. Jeff's wife approves. 😀
Thanks for watching and approving! I have Owensboro on my list to film street running trains there
I bet that is a beautiful view for the crews! Great work to catch the various angles and sites for the trains!
Many thanks!
very very cool, esp close up over that bridge.
nice big bridge Brian,thanks and have a nice weekend.i wil send you a video from the Dutch turning RR Bridge the Hembrug.biggest of Europe. but is replaced for 4 tracks RR Hem tunnel.
That bridge is like a fair ride when a train crosses and you're out on it. It sways and that's why there's a handrail all the way across with a steel walkway. I don't even want to mention what's happened to some people up there. Great video. Thanks!
Thanks for the info!
Congratulations on 100 thousand subscriptions.
Awesome bridge. I would have liked to seen that being built. Nice catch.
kind of odd to look down from the locomotive to see birds flying around, lol. Great live action JT and congrats on the 100k. The extra live action footage is always appreciated JT.
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes, indeed, that would be!!
Aw shoot man!
That was great shooting!
Thanks man!
Please try to do an episode on whatever is left of the Cincy freight/Livestock yards
Cool looking bridge with 2 tracks. Must be a busy NS line.
One of your best yet
Wow. This is one awesome video JT. Very interesting. Lots of good camera work.
Thank you very much!
The Southern Caboose is Beautiful
That caboose came from Morehead, Kentucky. I went to college there and I have pictures of it that I took after I graduated. It actually started life in 1980 as a Chessie System caboose! lol
@@JawTooth thank you for the information 🚂
Great job my friend!!!
Wow, very nice. I always enjoy your videos. keep up the good work my friend !
Thank you very much!
Your filming was good, not to shakee 🐝. Those were nice videos Jaw. 👍☺
so beautiful thanks for the video brother
My pleasure
That bridge is a work of art . Hoping we saw some Cleveland steel . Great video
im always blown away on how long these trains are
Love the walk-on part by the eagle. In fact, there looks like four or five of them. That's a pretty cool catch!
thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Awesome!!! Im gonna have to go down there to see that bridge!
You should!
Wow. Pretty awesome
Just up the road is RJ Cormans World headquarters in Nicholasville,KY. The Gourge is called the Kentucky Palisades.
It stretches from Boonesboro to Around Frankfort. It's a literal Canyon. Congrats on 100000 subs.
Great clip Jaw Tooth!
Wow! Amazing video! I loved hearing about the history of the bridge. Amazing feat of American engineering!🇺🇸
You know I always find bridges fascinating. I guess it must be the engineering part of it. Thanks for Sharing Brian.
You and me both!
Fine video, JT. That is an impressive bridge. I thought the NHRR’s old Poughkeepsie Bridge over the Hudson was high at 212 feet above the river. This one is 100 feet higher. BTW, I sure hope you get a cut from those ads of CZcams.
Awesome video!!!
This is a great video !!!!!
WOW WOW, the train look so tiny, if you turned off the sound one would think it was a model, GREAT stuff Jawtooth
Those are some long trains. Bet the crew can't get across the bridge fast enough . Thanks for posting, Brian.
that is one cool place thanks for sharing it.......Jaw Tooth
100K subscribers congrats
Thank you 🤗
Love your video!
I love RR bridges. When they used rivets, could build them under budget and within schedule. They would last over 100 hundreds years in the days when we used to build stuff in this country. Now building bridges takes an act of congress, 100 billion dollars and 240,000 environmental/wildlife impact statements. Wait .. there's more ... nicely done video Jaw Tooth.
This one was absolutely epic!
My respect and salute to the designers and builders of such magnificent and durable solid bridge
Wonderful Bridge, over 100 years and still standing strong..
Just awesome!
That bridge makes me think if the scene in the movie Stand By Me where the four kids are halfway across a trestle bridge when a train appears behind them.
That bridge was considerably shorter.
Wow, beautiful scenery. Wondered what kind of birds were flying around? Thank you for sharing.
