Leaving Cincinnati

LEAVING CINCINNATI Rumbling south over 1000 feet to freedom : The Roebling bridge, and below, Its Stars and Stripes hanging limp in the wind, A tugboat slowly pushing Sixteen blue-black coal barges, Almost sinking in the waves. Over the Kentucky line Turn right onto I- 71 to Louisville, Steel skeletons of bridges Left behind in the rear view mirror. .................................................................. NOTE ........In the movie RAINMAN, Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman are excellently filmed crossing this bridge.
