    Cool signal knockdown and that's a huge trestle! Just a few minutes ago NS train hit 2 trees here, we have 60 mph winds today!

      Oh wow! I hope they didn't get any damage. It's very windy here today also. Too windy for me to film. When I was filming this it was about to blow me over a few times so I stayed home today. I gotta pick branches up all over the yard. Lol. Are you filming right now?

    My sister lived just up on that hill overlooking the town! I was always fascinated by the shear size of that bridge and just how dominated by railroads the town of Kenova is. It makes you feel like you are living in a life-size model train layout designed solely for a railfan's enjoyment haha

    This area is incredible! Visited both sides of the river several years ago. The big bridge is a marvel of construction. the shorter spans are all around 300 ft +/-. The center span is 500 ft plus! This bridge was new in 1914 and was built around the old bridge to keep trains running and on the original piers. When finished the old one was removed from inside with very little traffic disruption! Another good video!

      Jaw Tooth nice show. As I was looking at that trestle and seeing all those man safety places,with White Railings, along the bridge I was thinking they might of been for something else. Just the other day was a post of an old steam engine crossing a trestle in AZ. along the bridge were all those man safety places but each one has a barrel. One common said they were Fire Barrels, anyone have an answer.

    Back in the late 1960s, I spent a lot of time photographing (what was then the Norfolk & Western) trains crossing the bridge. At that time, the bridge had a platform on both sides, so you could stand at track level. The reason the platform was there was that N&W was still running passenger trains. The station was located on the geographic west side close to the C&O tracks. The platform and depot were removed some time after passenger service ended on May 1, 1971.

      The block signal changes from green to red at 2:10. Just when the engine passes the signal post. The block signal is at the top of the post. I’m not certain what the lower signal on this post indicates. It could be the state of a switch (turnout).

    Thank you for this tease video of some of the trains that you saw in the Kenova, West Virginia area on 2 March 2023, Jaw Tooth! That was a great catch of the Norfolk Southern train on the trestle knocking down the signal. The flashing red light on the rear of the Norfolk Southern local engine that was coming at us was an end-of-train marker. The conductor more than likely attached it to the engine when they dropped off the cars that the engine was pulling. The lighting at the Ashland, Kentucky Amtrak Station was exactly right for you to capture the CSX mixed freight that passed you. I am looking forward to see more videos from this this latest trip that you made to the Kenova, West Virginia area.

It may be camera perspective, but it looks like the track is descending as the train completes its crossing and exits the bridge. Is the track actually descending, or is it just the ground coming up at that end of the bridge?
