For just 25 cents you can board one of the two orange and black rail cars and ride "The Shortest Railway in the World". This funicular dates back to 1901, when Bunker Hill was L.A.'s most fashionable neighborhood and the cars, the Olivet and the Sinai, ferried prominent citizens up and down the 350 foot slope between Hill and Olive streets. The beloved structure was dismantled for development of the area in 1969 then rfurbished and relocated adjacent to California Plaza in 1995. As short as it is, this train is an essential L.A. experience.
