    Left: KY as the Southwestern Limited passes by in downtown Anderson.
    Right: KY Tower in the early 50s. This tower was just west of the Depot in downtown Anderson. I seaarched and searched for a photo of KY. Now I have it!
    Photographer Unknown, Mike Hayes supplied the photo.

    And a nice Mohawk alongside. That desgnator would produce a rash of nasty commentary on social media these days. Two nice photos, Roger.

    If you mean Tower, that's what railroaders called it. Sorry about that. :)

    Doug, do you remember the old joke about the woman in assisted living, who complained about the taste of the "Kentucky" jelly?

    No. I hope it was fresh out of the tube, or whatever package it comes in.

    :D

    Sorry. I should delete this.

    Many don't like Kentucky's version of college basketball.

    Origin of the designation "KY"? Just random telegraph letters assigned? Or?
