At one time this structure had Phoenix columns incorporated into it, but I believe the railroad replaced them.
This is a correction of my last comment, which after I reread it was ridiculous. I meant to say that this trestle was about 100 ft. longer than Shuffle Creek Trestle, not Tulip. There is an extensive article on the Laughery Creek Viaduct at http://www.borhs.org/sentinel/sentinel2010Q20510.pdf .
I Grew Up As A Teenager In Osgood, IN Just West Of This And It Was A Right Of Passage To Walk Across This, And In Some Places Whole Wooden Cross Ties Where Gone And You Had To Jump Over The Span... Some Friends Have Even Been Caught In The Middle And Had To Ride It Out Laying Down On The Service Platforms On The Sides... They Turned A Little White Afterwards...
This has been called "High Bridge" for several years by everyone in SE Indiana. Primarily due to it's towering presence over Laughery Creek. Last year I measured the height at 110 feet over the stream. The trestle has been referred to as the second tallest in the state after the Tulip in Greene County. It's a short walk (less than a 1/4 mile) east of Base Rd.in Ripley County and aprox. a half-mile south of SR 350. It's quite intimidating once you start to walk across it. I have also canoed under it in mid winter and only wished I would have photographed it from below. Trains have been seldom seen in the last few years on this once busy CSX line that prospered for over a century.
This structure is approx. 1085 feet long. That's about 100 feet longer than Tulip trestle On the Indiana Rail Road (ex Illinois Central) in Monroe County but shorter than Tulip Viaduct on the same railroad in Greene County which is the longest in Indiana at 2295 feet excluding the rail bridge at the Ohio River at Evansville which has an elevated approach to the north side of the bridge that is more than a mile long.
