MORE Angels Flight Railway



These images are slide dupes, so the quality isn’t too hot, but I got them anyway. They are supposedly from 1955, and were stamped Robert McVay. Not sure if he was the original photographer or not.

Angels Flight



Built in 1901, the Angels Flight Railway in Los Angeles had the designation of being the shortest railway in the world. It has been moved, closed, reopened, and closed again, and hopefully one day, it will carry passengers up and down in the Bunker Hill area of downtown Los Angeles. First photo is a vintaged July 1963 photo, followed by a few contemporary shots of Angels Flight in its present location a few blocks away.
