Yeah, this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Bridge_of_Kentucky My sister and her family used to live in Jessamine County.
High Bridge of Kentucky
High Bridge is a railroad bridge crossing the Kentucky River Palisades, that rises approximately 275 feet from the river below and connects Jessamine and Mercer counties in Kentucky. Formally dedicated in 1879, it is the first cantilever bridge constructed in the United States. It has a three-span continuous under-deck truss used by Norfolk Southern Railway to carry trains between Lexington and Danville. It has been designated as a National Civil Engineering Landmark.
Thats the one such a cool bridge
