Angels Flight

Known as the world's shortest railway, the Angels Flight Railway takes reopens again up and down Bunker Hill in downtown Los Angeles.  Angel's Flight was shut down in 2001 after a fatal accident. The funicular was opened in 1901 to take passengers on the one-minute trip up and down Bunker Hill, initially for a penny. The fare is now 25 cents and the train still features the original cars from 1901. (Photo by Ringo H.W. Chiu)
