Title	Perspective view looking through towers from north side.
Series Title	Kentucky River Bridge, Cincinnati Southern Railway
Creator	Mullen, James (photographer)
Description	North tower of High Bridge over the Kentucky River. The railroad tracks beneath the tower lead across the river to where the south tower can be seen in the distance. The north and south towers were built between 1854 and 1858 by bridge builder John A. Roebling to suspend wire cables across the bridge. The towers stood unused for twenty years until High Bridge was completed in 1877. They were demolished in 1929 to allow for widening of the tracks.
