trestle
Track support structure
A trestle is a supporting framework, typically consisting of a horizontal beam held up by two pairs of splayed legs.
Sawhorses are simple trestles.
The word often refers to the open braced framework supporting a bridge or elevated roadway: The train crossed the wooden trestle spanning the gorge.
A trestle table rests on such supports rather than having fixed legs.
