HD- Angels Flight Railway: Downtown Los Angeles
Loading...
Uploaded by kearthfan101 on Mar 27, 2011
Coined as the shortest railway in the world, The Angels Flight Railway trickles up and down Bunker Hill in Downtown Los Angeles, carrying thousands of passengers each year up the 298 foot hill, with an approximate 33-percent grade. This was my first time seeing the railway in action, so it was an experience in itself. Angels Flight is a funicular railway, so when one goes up, one comes down in perfect unison, and they meet in the middle. The ride is a bit bumpy, but at just a quarter a ride, it remains one of Los Angeles' historic attractions. I hope you are able to ride this if you ever visit Los Angeles, but if not, enjoy my video!

Probably the best video of Angels Flight on youtube! I was so glad to see that it is up and running again after the horrible accident. They "got it right" this time with state of the art safety features, done very tastefully!

@brushcreek42 yeah, this is a sunday, so of course not as many people will be in downtown la. its actually been closed the past couple weeks because they ordered new wheels for them.
