Hmmm. In
Noir Noir's very useful maps (thanks
N N!), the tracks are a couple of blocks away from the hotel.
I can't explain the absence of actual tracks in the photo; but I'm thinking that,
along one of the RR's excursion lines (see the paragraphs in my earlier posting), perhaps the hotel put up a cheap frame structure actually adjacent to the tracks to cater to tourists' needs. The building(s) in the photo, from what we can see, seem pretty skimpy for 1890s Pasadena proper.
I infer from the
LA Times piece that the local station in Pasadena for the Los Angeles Terminal Railway was at the site of Pasadena's current one ("rebuilt in 1935").
