MP H248.7


Cavanaugh Lane overpass is located at MP H248.7.


How to get there:

Go north of Hopkinsville on US 41 to milepost 21.  Take a right on Cavanaugh Spur at about MP 21.2, turn left at the "T" and the bear to your right for about ½ mile to bridge over tracks.  Park on either side of bridge and walk to center - plenty of room but watch for vehicles.  Great afternoon shot of southbound trains.
