You can see where they used a trestle as a form while they were building
the bridge. 🙂

My Chambers dictionary mentions trestle bridge in the general definition of
trestle, stating that it is a bridge resting on trestlework, which in turn is
described as a braced framework.
Maybe it has become a generic term for railway bridge in (parts of) the USA; I
haven’t heard it used over here, but I’m not a railway enthusiast or an
architect, so what do I know?

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

I finally got a chance to go for a bike ride today and it was 99F

of lenses, and actually stopped for some photos. Some are probably
repeats from previous rides.
The train trestle, Mount Rubidoux and the tree is kind of a hard
combination to not at least give a try at.
