There have been several highway bridges built and demolished since the rail bridges were built.ohio981https://www.blogger.com/profile/16148481765181570598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513530212135845449.post-40644281441773417012010-02-15T09:01:38.375-05:002010-02-15T09:01:38.375-05:00Oh, and I just remembered!

Weren't there some in Greenup, too? <br /><br />Iron furnaces, right? I know those go way back, but I wonder...do even those tie into the river and rail access? How far back do the rail lines along the river go? Any idea?michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513530212135845449.post-39906564343594240342010-02-15T08:59:09.017-05:002010-02-15T08:59:09.017-05:00That's interesting, and a really good point. ...That's interesting, and a really good point. When I think of the biggies in this area, I do think of coal, which means the river and rail lines, and now that you mention it it's odd that the power plants don't enter my mind too. <br /><br />I used to always think of the plants (steel, carbon, the refinery), but as the local economy has gotten more...depressed, I guess is the word,for some reason those just started slipping my mind.<br /><br />Really interesting. I do have some pictures of some of those plants, but not nearly as many as I do of the river or trains or bridges.michellenoreply@blogger.com
