A connected graph G is essentially 4-edge-connected if for any edge cut X of G with| X|< 4, either G− X is connected or at most one component of G− X has edges. In this paper, we introduce a reduction method and investigate the existence of spanning trails in essentially 4-edge-connected graphs. As an application, we prove that if G is 4-edge-connected, then for any edge subset X 0⊆ E (G) with| X 0|≤ 3 and any distinct edges e, e′∈ E (G), G has a spanning (e, e′)-trail containing all edges in X 0, which solves a conjecture posed in [W. Luo, Z.-H. Chen, W.-G. Chen, Spanning trails containing given edges, Discrete Math. 306 (2006) 87–98].
