| The bridge was the most important civil engineering aspect as streams and rivers were crossed by bird cage or trestle bridges of timber. |
| The river being nearly two miles wide and very shoaly, they thought a trestle bridge could be made to stand. |
| We had a trestle table positively groaning with gifts to unload, so it wasn't a quick process. |
| Drinkers were served in the taproom, a large single room furnished with trestle tables and benches. |
| In a record time of 43 seconds, they cut off a piece of the log, not minding that the sawing trestle almost capsized. |
| Their water tanks were usually steel on stone bases, or sometimes supported on a trestle base made of rail. |
