Rail Trestle

The following was written by
Mary Mabel Cobb Crabtree:

"Digging down deep cut for railroad. Railroad now been changed to 41-A. The railroad was moved where it is
now because trains balked, couldn't pull up grade on now 41-A."

This deepcut is located between Hanson and Slaughters, KY.
