Two men in suits and straw hats, one holding rolled up papers, stand and confer in an area of dirt and broken pavement at the site where the Pacific Electric Hill Street Station had recently stood (on Hill St., between 4th and 5th Streets). Directly behind them on the left are a surveyor looking through the telescope of a theodolite on a tripod with a man in a straw hat crouching beneath him. A steam shovel and several spouts of smoke are in the center middle ground, the storage yard is visible on the right, and tall commercial buildings are in the background. Hill Street is directly behind the photographer. Text from negative sleeve: Pacific Electric R.R., 1925
