The photographer is
standing at the edge of the Arroyo looking east and north over the
Pasadena and Los Angeles trestle and in the near distance the Los
Angeles and Salt Lake trestle. The P&LA became a part of the Pacific
Electric (the Big Red Cars) soon after and the LA & SL became the Union
Pacific. Three of the foundation blocks from the P&LA trestle were just
used as the base of the new "walking
man" artwork at the South Pasadena Gold line station. The LA &SL
trestle was replaced by a concrete structure which is still there and
carries Pasadena Avenue into Highland Park today. The interurban is
headed for Los Angeles and the train is headed into South Pasadena.
