trestlework

The first school was a log house located closer to the trestlework or railroad bridge.

Junior paused to peer down the stairs, through the trestlework of shadows, half expecting to discover someone stealthily climbing behind them.

The slope is a steep one and the railroad had to stay very near, or even between the banks of the Dry River on wooden trestlework.

Much of the railroad was built on low trestlework rather than directly on the ground; the resulting construction and maintenance costs drove the railroad into bankruptcy soon after it opened.

Trestlework lanterns hang from balcony corners, and second-story bowed windows, paneled in dark wood and covered by lace curtains that inevitably suggest mysteries within, hang out over the ground-floor level, almost nudging their counterparts from the other side of the street.

A brigade of Maj. Gen. Judson Kilpatrick's cavalry under Col. Smith D. Atkins attacked the bridge and destroyed trestlework past Morgan's Lake, but was unable to capture the bridge or seize the Confederate battery at Doctortown on December 19.
