Newfound Creek Trestle
The Newfound Creek Trestle was a massive wooden railroad trestle originally constructed between 1901 and 1904 for the Cane Creek Branch of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad near Brookside in western Jefferson County. It was designated as L & N Cane Creek Trestle No. 10 on that line.
The trestle spanned over Newfound Creek between Bailey's Quarters and Crocker Junction, northeast of Brookside. It was about 115 feet tall and about 650 feet long, and curved across the Newfound Creek valley. Joshua Lafayette Mitchell was the trestle's designer and builder.
The railroad stopped using the bridge in the 1990s and removed the rails. Plans were underway to use it as part of a walking trail system.
The trestle burned down, possibly having been set alight by fireworks, on May 23, 2006.
