Based on the the buildings in front of the "trestle", I'd say that it's the support for the under-construction elevated section of 4th Street as it crosses Flower and Figueroa Streets. The 1956 image below shows the completed road on the left, while the 1956 aerial I posted a couple of days ago shows work yet to begin on the elevated section, so that narrows down the timeframe of
Beaudry's image.
