Amtrak crossing the Huey P. Long Bridge

Sunset Limited

[@divox9pqr]

The trestle and HPLong bridge are impressive, but also impressive is the bridge and trestle as the train crawls into Cincinnati, Ohio at about 5 miles an hour crossing the Ohio River after paralleling Mary Ingles Highway. Just awesome. I remember as a boy before Amtrak, the Old B&O steamer puffing along that route. I never wanted to get off the train, but wanted ride on and on to Chicago or St Louis.

I'm not sure about the bridge in Cincinnati but will RUclips it. However I'm familiar with the train bridge into St. Louis and even though it's old, it's really nice

You should have seen the bridge before the expansion. Driving on there was insane.

[@davidbashay6286]

I very well remember before the expansion. Try driving an 18 wheeler up there before the expansion....

@@davidbashay6286 I felt for those who were driving 18 wheelers.

[@davidbashay6286]

Yeah it would get tight up there in a truck but u get used to it after so many times

[@johnharris8191]

I crossed it before the expansion many times, the double lanes were 9 feet wide.
