Clarification needed - more than one "High Bridge" in Kentucky?

Regarding an edit earlier today stating that the bridge has been purchased for use as a bungee jumping platform, I found this article: Old Kentucky River railroad bridge will become bungee-jumping platform. There's just one problem - the article is accompanied by a photograph of the bridge, and it's clearly not the same bridge shown in the Wikipedia article. Furthermore, the above-linked article states the bridge connects Anderson and Woodford counties, whereas the Wikipedia article says the bridge connects Jessamine and Mercer counties.

In summary, I think we're talking about two different bridges here. mwalimu59 (talk) 23:08, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed, more or less. The bungee-jumping bridge, referred to in the above mentioned article as Young's High Bridge, is located near Tyrone, KY (Google maps link). High Bridge of Kentucky, is a different bridge (Google Maps Link) located near Wilmore, KY. mwalimu59 (talk) 02:00, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've created the article Young's High Bridge about the other bridge. mwalimu59 (talk) 22:29, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bridge still active?

An edit done today (mostly non-disputed and included some good added history) made the claim that the bridge no longer carries rail traffic. Is that true? The source cited discusses at length some of the history of the bridge as well as an adjoining park and platform that had been abandoned quite a few years ago but are getting restoration, but I couldn't find anything saying the bridge isn't still in use. There is mention of rails-trail proposal, but as far as I was able to determine, this is with regard to the old railroad route from the bridge to Wilmore, abandoned circa 1929 when the main railroad line was rerouted (see map at http://www.worldtimzone.com/railtrail/ ). The bridge was still in service and carrying traffic in 2013 when I made several revisions to this article. If this Lexington-Danville route has in fact been abandoned since then, can we find more reliable sources confirming this? mwalimu59 (talk) 01:16, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

More on the above - The route still appears on Norfolk Southern's route map at http://www.nscorp.com/content/nscorp/en/system-overview.html and may be part of a main long-haul route between Cincinnati and Chattanooga. A YouTube search uncovered multiple drone videos uploaded within the last year showing trains crossing the bridge. mwalimu59 (talk) 17:05, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
