HUNTINGTON, WV

KY 644 Levisa Fork Bridge (Louisa, Kentucky) Historic KY 644 bridge over Levisa Fork south of Louisa in Lawrence County, Kentucky. The bridge was originally built by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad (C&O) and likely dates from the late 1800s. The C&O built a new railroad bridge adjacent to this one in 1914 and in 1916 gave this (old) bridge to Lawrence County for use as a highway bridge. The bridge contains two pin-connected Pratt through truss spans and one Warren through truss (with verticals) span. The 3 truss spans likely date from two different time periods. The two Pratt truss spans utilize tubular steel beams and are older than the Warren truss span. The Pratt spans may have been built by the Phoenix Bridge Company. A girder approach span next to the Warren truss has a bridge builders plaque from the King Bridge Company (King Iron Bridge & Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, Ohio) and a 1904 date.

Looking Back for the Future I've been thinking about places I'd like to shoot and visit, new and old, and one that comes to mind often is the old C&O - the Big Sandy, most notably. I'd like to revisit the Sandy and venture farther down the line, as well as visiting others in the region - the old Clinchfield, for instance. I don't see that happening this year, but you never know. At any rate, the thoughts make me revisit my previous shots, some of which I never did upload. At WD Cabin, CSX 5301 leads a four-unit procession north past the old C&O cantilever. I never did catch what the symbol was, but this train chock full of tankers sure took its time getting up here from Louisa. When it did, that was a very welcome relief. Parking for WD Cabin is a bit touchy, and I always hate leaving the car too far behind. But, it was worth it. This was actually my last shot on the Big Sandy, as once I got back to my car it was time to head to Parkersburg, WV for the BIP the next day!
