Angel Bec said...: This is on South Raymond. I would suppose that it is either tearing up the road for a light rail or paving the street. I think it is in front of the Green Hotel.; June 30, 2009 at 7:46 AM
ben wideman said...: I agree - road construction along Raymond. But it is north of the Castle green, maybe by the park.; June 30, 2009 at 7:54 AM
Jean Spitzer said...: Raymond? And the Red Car line is being removed?; June 30, 2009 at 9:40 AM
Margaret said...: It is Raymond, but the big tower in the background is St. Andrews. I like Jean's idea about the red car line being removed.; June 30, 2009 at 10:22 AM
Petrea Burchard said...: The location is easy, thanks to the tower. The rest, I think, is a trick question. I'm going with Ben's answer.; June 30, 2009 at 5:08 PM
The Sage of Altadena said...: I would think it's the early stages of laying down Red Car track on Raymond. The digging machine is too ancient looking to be in the "removing track" era, so I'll say they're installing track.; June 30, 2009 at 9:39 PM

Kevin Cloud Brechner said...: It looks to me like North Raymond Avenue near Union Street. The time in the late 1920s. That is probably an actual steam shovel, but may be gas fueled by then. i think they are removing the rails that went from the train station at the Green Hotel that fed up to the Mt. Lowe Railroad that went up Rubio Canyon.; July 1, 2009 at 12:49 AM
Cafe Pasadena said...: I don't like Jean's and Margie's idea of removing the Red Line. God Forbid!; July 1, 2009 at 11:08 PM
