Additional Information for Railway Trestle

Railway trestles are a type of bridge structure that is specifically designed to support railway tracks. They are part of the supply class Bridges, Fixed And Floating, which falls under the supply group Prefabricated Structures And Scaffolding.

Railway trestles are typically made of steel or timber and are used to span gaps, such as valleys or rivers, in order to provide a stable and elevated surface for trains to travel on. They consist of a series of piers or towers, known as bents, which are connected by horizontal beams or trusses.

These structures are prefabricated, meaning that they are manufactured off-site and then transported to the desired location for assembly. Railway trestles are designed to be strong and durable, capable of supporting the weight of trains and withstanding various environmental conditions.

In addition to providing a stable surface for trains, railway trestles also allow for the passage of other vehicles, pedestrians, and wildlife underneath the tracks. They are an essential component of railway infrastructure, enabling the safe and efficient transportation of goods and passengers.
