Skyline Drive, Hopkinsville, Ky

at MP 237.8.

How to get there:

From US 41 turn west at Skyline Drive to the tracks.  From US 41A (Ft Campbell Blvd) turn east at the Holiday Inn (Skyline Drive) and it's about .2 miles to the tracks.  This location is good for tight morning shots from east of the tracks and excellent afternoon and late afternoon from the west side of the tracks.

The picture:
