Wasn't it called "temp_trails" ?

If you confirm the table was "temp_trails", here's how the geometries
get to relate to the original data (from your initial mail):

 UPDATE public.temp_trails SET topogeom = toTopoGeom(geom, 'trails_topo', ...

So you would have all the data associated within that table,
with each "topogeom" value being composed by a set of primitive
edges.

While associating data directly to edge records would be possible,
it is not a recommended design.
