Nestled in the hills of Central Kentucky lies the remains of a little known, but historic, short line. The Bourbon Road tells the story of the Frankfort and Cincinatti, and its beloved and treasured history. So come along as we tell the story of the F&C!
Thank you to Ed Vasser and Mike Gillespie for their wonderful interviews!

    Very nice video there! As someone who is a HUGE fan of the F&C and has plans in place to model it one day I'm glad someone who is younger did this Shortline Justice and preserved its memory for the wider audience on YouTube to see and hopefully spread around to others. God bless and have a wonderful day!

    This is very good!! The background music is perfect. Great job!

    Please do the Lexington subdivision. The most pointless and hurtful abandonment of a track.

    One point of correction, the derailment in 1985 that put the F&C out of business did not occur on the Buffalo Trace Trestle, rather, it was on the deck girder bridge over the Elkhorn Creek located behind the Old Granddad Distillery. I took pictures of the bridge right after the derailment had occurred on the bridge and damaged it. The repair costs were so great that the F&C abandoned the rest of its track between the Forks of the Elkhorn to Frankfort.

    What memories !! My grandfather was Harry Cook. Like said in the interview he lived across the street from the Georgetown Depot and next door to Mr. Scroggin. This is a good video, but please, please don't put music in the background when doing them. It really takes away from the interview and for us old one's, the background noise (music) is a big distraction.
