All such mortgages which cover rights-of-way, franchises, pipelines, pole lines, easements, railroad tracks, engines, motor equipment or any tangible personal property shall be duly acknowledged as required by law and recorded as mortgages on real estate are required to be recorded only in the county in Kentucky in which the principal office of the corporation is located. If the mortgage covers other real property in addition to rights-of-way, franchises, pipelines, pole lines, easements, railroad tracks, engines, cars, motor equipment or tangible personal property, then the mortgage shall also be recorded in each county in which such other real property is located.
