The remains of the only bridge on the line, which crossed the modest river, the "Waters of Philorth".
The view is looking towards St. Combs with Philorth Bridge halt about 300 yards in the distance.

Description: Comb graves in Highland Cemetery in Overton Co., Tenn.
Date: October 25, 2012
Creator: Dr. Richard Finch
Collection name: Richard C. Finch Folk Graves Digital Photograph Collection
Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

They are used in a similar fashion though, with one comb holding the fiber while the other is moved through, slowly transferring the fiber to the moving comb".
