Kings Mountain trestle

Shown here are a couple photos of the trestle near Kings Mountain, not far north
of Somerset, Ky. If a train is going south, it would cross this trestle and then go through
the long, deepKings Mountain cut, which is a short distance from the trestle. One
of the oldtunnels of the "Rathole" line is beside the big cut. I don't know when this trestle
was built, but I think it has been there a long time. It is a long one, and quite high.I was
really surprised the first time I saw it. I didn't know there was anything likeit around here.
