The Central Kentucky Lines consist of
two separate short line railroads. The Versailles portion of the line is approximately
15 miles, from Versailles to the interchange with NS in Lexington. The second
portion of the Line is more than 100 miles in length, from the CSX interchange
at HK Tower in Louisville, through Shelbyville, Frankfort, Lexington to Winchester
