You saw right through me HH.....it was a hint.

The link you provided tell us it's origin (1917) was the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad.


Logo imprinted on bridge.

"The arrowhead logo of the SPLA&SL, the "Salt Lake Route" herald, is seen cast into the Pickering Avenue bridge (over the sidewalk)
when this line was built around 1917. This bridge is immediately west of the truss bridge over Whittier Boulevard (CA Route 72)."


The description above makes it sound like this bridge & logo is still there, but I searched the area in the google-mobile and couldn't locate it.


Here's the area where I searched.

Does anyone know, is this little piece of RR history (the arrowhead logo) still there (& I overlooked it), or has it been destroyed?
