There is a bit of confusion between this bridge and the one seen and discussed in Fred H's post on page 528.
The bridge shown on page 528 is the North Broadway bridge over the SP's
Cornfield Yard linking North Broadway to Spring Street. It was built mostly of wood.
The bridge seen here on page 529 offered pedestrian access from San Fernando Road to the locomotive roundhouse and shops complex at SP's Taylor yard in Glendale. This was a steel bridge. The scenes from "Tough Guys" were shot with the train on what was formerly the freight car RIP (Repair In Place) tracks beneath the bridge.
There were a number of smaller yards linked together between Taylor Yard
and the original River Station Yard along North Broadway. They had names like The Bullpen, Links, etc. At a later date I will put together a map showing the names and locations of these yards in an attempt to provide a clearer picture of the locations of each.
Cheers,
Jack
