On, all right, they’re between the two large trees on the left, just above the greenery. Touch of class, those.
This is in Lee County VA, a step or two off the main road.

Nolichucky Trestle
Active pony plate trestle over the Nolichucky River in Unicoi County. The decolorized photo has an infra-red effect added. Original image shot with an Olympus XZ-1, f2 at 1/500. ISO 400 equivalent.
Why is it pronounced “tressle” instead of “trest-le”. Well, like “pestle”, “hustle”, “wrestle” and many others, it just is. Received pronunciation, apparently.
Once a theater
This is looking through what once was a theater in a company-build recreation center in Leatherwood KY. Here’s what it looked like when it was fairly new. (For the picture I shot, I was on the other side of the building) Note the cut stone that made up the exterior of this large building. The story is that the railroad welcomed Italian stonemasons to help build the many bridges and support structures as the lines extended. These masons were also responsible for many coal company buildings, notably in Lynch and Whitesburg KY.
