I finally got a chance to go for a bike ride today and it was 99F ucking degrees though by the time that I got home the tem had dropped to 94. As always, I brought along the OM5 and a couple 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. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/54742157077/in/album-72177720328579066 If you're curious about the rest of the set: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720328579066 __ Larry Colen from Lothlorien lrc@red4est.com

Bridge... <https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/54743222313/in/album-72177720328579066/lightbox/> It's possible that trestle is a more specific type of bridge, but I've usually heard the term used in conjunction with trains.

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? > On 25 Aug 2025, at 19:08, lrc@red4est.com wrote: > > Bridge... <https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/54743222313/in/album-72177720328579066/lightbox/> > It's possible that trestle is a more specific type of bridge, but I've usually heard the term used in conjunction with trains.

Wow, who knew there were so many?!

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 :-) ann On 8/26/2025 3:17 AM, Bob W PDML wrote: > Wow, who knew there were so many?! > > There’s an interesting viaduct near where I live which carries the railway line across the Ouse Valley between London and the South Coast: > > https://www.instagram.com/p/DNoShLcM6-H/?igsh=aTVrc293dmUycnJy > >> On 26 Aug 2025, at 08:10, Alan Cole<cole@lantic.net> wrote: >> >> Here's the full story.

If you scroll down to the fourth image in the article that Larry linked: https://www.raincrossgazette.com/spanning-history-riversides-iconic-1904-railroad-bridge/ You can see where they used a trestle as a form while they were building the bridge. 🙂 On 8/25/2025 3:02 PM, Bob W PDML wrote: > 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? > >> On 25 Aug 2025, at 19:08, lrc@red4est.com wrote: >> >> Bridge... <https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/54743222313/in/album-72177720328579066/lightbox/> >> It's possible that trestle is a more specific type of bridge, but I've usually heard the term used in conjunction with trains.
