For just 25 cents you can board one of the two orange and black incline railway cars and ride "The Shortest Railway in the World." This funicular dates back to 1901, when Bunker Hill was one of the most fashionable neighborhoods in Los Angeles and the cars, Olivet and Sinai, ferried prominent citizens up and down the steep slope between Hill and Olive streets. The beloved landmark was dismantled for "urban renewal" of the area in 1969. In the early 1990s, the Railway was refurbished and relocated a half-block south, reopening adjacent to California Plaza in 1996. As short as it is (298 feet), Angels Flight is an essential Los Angeles experience. The Angels Flight™ Railway connects 351 South Hill Street (ZIP Code 90013), near the Metro Red Line Pershing Square subway station at the corner of Fourth and Hill Streets, with the California Plaza Watercourt at 350 South Grand Avenue (ZIP Code 90071). Recorded telephone information: (213) MA 6-1901. The Railway is open every day, 365 days a year, from 6:45 a.m. until 10 p.m. Please note that Angels Flight is completing painting work each weekday morning and will not open until 3:00 p.m. on Jan. 23-24-25.
