It looks remarkably like the Arroyo Seco bridge on the AT&SF near the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. If it is it is looking East, but I'm not sure how built up the area was when the Arroyo Seco bridge was built. That area is city today except for a green belt along side a road at the bottom of the Arroyo Seco. The bridge was torn down and the Pasadena sub was abandoned by the BNSF a few years ago. The Santa Fe used to enter Los Angeles by way of the Santa Ana Canyon or the Pasadena Sub. Now all of their traffic is routed through the Santa Ana Canyon.
