Whereabouts on the toll road did you encounter the machine? It might be county doing something.

The sign and yellow tape were immediately after I hit the road and turned right on it. The work was probably a quarter of a mile farther up the road. I'm talking about the old Wilson toll road, the dirt road that has not been passable to cars for many years -- not the asphalt roads that you can access once you get to the blockhouse.

That puts the work between the trail-toll road junction and the point where the gated access road to Mt. Harvard is (which is where a blockhouse is, and where the single track leaves the road and heads up to the main parking lot). Probably just maintenance.

Oh, you started from Sierra Madre. I was thinking Altadena and Eaton Canyon. This is interesting because on Sunday I was hiking the Idlehour at night, and there were unusual, bright lights at the summit of Wilson.
