Will there be a stream crossing or are you just planning to cross a gorge? If you cross a stream then you should build a main span over the stream. This is because in the Spring when the snow thaws the flow will increase and often carry dead branches and logs downstream. If the trestle were built over the stream channel then the logs would beat against the pilings and at least damage the bridge. Another thing, what radius curve will go over the trestle? Good Luck - Ed
