Since I have always been interested in railroads, I’ve decided to start a series of caches highlighting some of the physical features that still remain of railroads that no longer exist in the central KY area.
The Versailles and Midway Railway was built in 1885. The Louisville Southern Railway purchased the railroad in 1889 and extended it to Georgetown. A distillery in Midway was the primary source of revenue and when it closed in 1939, an application for abandonment was applied for and granted. By 1941, the line was gone except for a short segment that still exists in Versailles operated by RJ Corman.
The tracks ran down Brand Street and the depot was just north of the underpass which carries the RJ Corman tracks today.
The cache is a camouflaged matchstick container containing a log. Bring your own writing utensil.
