I have seen many bridge plans of all types in the popular railroading 
magazines.  There is also a book on bridges and trestles. 

Somebody commented that "trestle bridge" is not correct terminology.  
This reminds me of the railroad through my home town.  There was a long 
fill in the river valley on both sides leading to the actual bridge.  
People always talked about crossing the railroad trestle (using the 
railroad bridge was a common shortcut for the more "daring" 
pedestrians).  I chuckle, it had never dawned on me that it was not a 
trestle!   I'm guessing the terminology was leftover from when there WAS 
a trestle, which had been converted to a fill.
