Yeah that was a really intersting wiki - to note that the first line
of the trestle/tressel detailed entry is
"A trestle bridge is a bridge composed of a number of short spans
supported by closely spaced frames /*usually carrying a railroad line. "
*/ italics mine :-)

Wow, who knew there were so many?!
There’s an interesting viaduct near where I live which carries the railway line

It's possible that trestle is a more specific type of bridge, but I've usually
heard the term used in conjunction with trains. It could just be that that's
how they were constructed at home
