There are alot more than 2 in Covington. Not sure how many. None that I know of have been painted sinse C&O, L&N days. The only 2 bridges that come to mind that have been painted in the last 20 to 25 years are the NS bridge over the Ohio and the famed Purple People Bridge (nee L&N) over the Ohio. Most rail bridges in the area still wear their old names, C&O, L&N, B&O, PRR, N&W, Southern, NYC. All need painting. I'm not holding my breath though. It would tak alot of money to paint these and all look structually sound.

All the info comes from www.k8dti.com

Oh by the way, CSX could bypass and remove this bridge if they wanted to. They could build a connection down in Latonia.
