Borrowed time
On the second day of our October visit to TTI, there were unfortunately no empties to take back to Maysville, so the power returned light. There were atleast a couple of good photo spots for the light power move that hid the lack of a train. Here the power ducks under the old 1932 route 32 pony truss bridge. The bridge was in the process of being replaced and we are standing on the partially finished replacement. Both the bridge and TTIs coal contract had about the same expiration date, with the last TTI coal train operating about a year later in September 2016, and the new bridge opening sometime in the same year. Bridge info from the the somewhat revived Bridgehunter site: bridgestunnels.com/location/myers-bridge/
