Can anyone ID this (I think) pedestrian bridge across a railroad yard in Los Angeles?

A 1924 aerial photo of the yard is interesting. Lots of changes but a number of buildings durvive in the area, albeit in most cases with significant air conditioning equipment added to roofs.

There was never a roundhouse there.  The closest was at the Los Angeles General Shops, southeast just across the river.  That site is now a container yard (but is still often referred as the "Shops").

The Gold Line is the only one now directly visible from the State Park, but there is plenty of rail activity within easy walking distance: LA Union Station and rail lines on both sides of the river.

(The timestamp worked fine for me.)

This is the bridge that was across the old SP "Cornfield" yard (now the Los Angeles State Historic Park) near downtown Los Angeles.  The Corvette is parked on N Spring St near Sotello St.  The bridge extended north to N Broadway.

Thanks JM. With that info, I was able to look up the area on Google Satellite. Sadly looks like I was right: "After 40+ years the bridge might be gone, the rail yard might be gone, the LA of that era is certainly gone". I suppose the "Roundhouse" Bridge in the park follows the countour of a former roundhouse. Oh well, at least the Gold Line keeps an element of railroad activity in the area.

BTW ORNHOO, I had set the YouTube link to open at that time stamp. It worked great for me when I tested it, but I wonder if it didn't open at that timestamp for you, maybe it was because I already had it buffered and I mess up the link? Seemed to work OK.

It isn't the one used in "This Gun for Hire", where Alan Ladd jumps into a slow moving gondola.

This pedestrian bridge across a railyard can be viewed in this YouTube clip ("Double Nickles" - 1977).
The narrow bridge seems to have a steel framework, wooden deck & handrails.  After 40+ years the bridge might be gone, the rail yard might be gone, the LA of that era is certainly gone (you should view the YouTube comments on Randy Newman "I Love LA" video with so many people wistfully bemoaning the passing of the LA of that era).
Anyway, can anyone ID the bridge and where it is/was?  I can accept that the section shown is juat part of a larger bridge but it doesn't look like it.
