Trestle bridge

I'm contemplating building a timber trestle and have a question about how really tall bents were constructed. What tricks were used when the needed length of a bent exceeded the tallest trees available in a given area? Are there any links anyone could point to for information on how this issue was addressed? Photos are good...📷

Holcomb Creek Trestle, Helvetia, Oregon. I was surprised to learn of this old beauty - - just 30 miles from my home! It is 1,168 feet long and about 90 feet high. Built around 1905, it still carries freight traffic.

Has anyone built their own trestles or bridges? Would love to hear about all the details- how you made it, materials and tools used, if it was time consuming, easy or complicated, if a jig was made for easy assembly, if detailed woodworking plans were used, etc
