| The 14th street bridge,also known as the Ohio Falls Bridge, is a truss drawbridge that spans the Ohio river, between Louisville,Ky. and Clarksville,In. Built in 1868 by the Louisville Iron Company, the bridge was operated for many years by the Pennsylvania Railroad, giving the company its only access to Kentucky. Ownership of the Railroad and the bridge passed on to Penn Central and later Conrail, which then sold the line from Louisville,Ky. to Indianapolis,In. to Louisville and Indiana Railroad,the current bridge owner. |
