Angels Flight

Angels Flight is a funicular, or inclined cable counter balanced railway. It is located in downtown LA. It was originally built to serve an affluent residential area. It was dismantled in the 1960's and placed in storage awaiting urban renewal. In 1996 the line opened again albeit a couple of blocks from its original location.

Unfortunately there was a major accident that killed a passenger in 2001. The line has been shut down ever since. Not sure if the line will ever re-open.
