Here are links to photos of the Trout Lake Trestle taken in June and July, 2004 by the project manager for the trestle restoration. These were taken after the removal of trees and brush. Old photos of the trestle show that the RGS kept the trees and shrubs away from their trestles for fire prevention and that stuff collects snow that contributes to wood rot. There were several large trees growing up through the bents prior to the tree removal.
