Hello, I found this pic on the net.
It shows the rails on this trestle, laid down over normal sleepers. They in turn appear to be sitting on an additional wider sleeper bed.
Is this what I am seeing ?
Normally the rails sit on sleepers, which then sit on stringers attached to the trestle bents. End of story.
This pic appears to have an additional layer of wider sleepers ?
Thank you for any confirmation.

) running perpendicular to the stringers. They are 9"x9", 11 feet long and spaced slightly closer than regular roadbed. It looks like it's finished with 9"x9" guard timbers set just in from the edge the length of the trestle. Hope that helps :thumb:
