Tallest Railroad Bridge in TN

The New River Railroad Bridge is the tallest railroad bridge in the State of Tennessee, at 389 feet above the New River Gorge. The river channel cantilever span stands on two hollow piers, 392 feet apart. The bridge was built along a realignment of Cincinnati Southern's infamous "Rathole" Line, between Danville, Kentucky and Oakdale, Tennessee, to reduce the number of tunnels and fault line crossings on the Cincinnati-to-Chattanooga route. The realignment also lowered the steep incline into the New River Valley northward from Elgin, Tennessee, eliminating the need for the Robbins Tunnel and the old New River crossing.
