Made famous once again, The Angels Flight Railway, for the first time in more than nine years, resumes ferrying passengers up and down Bunker Hill in downtown Los Angeles Angel’s Flight which, at 298 feet, has been called the world’s shortest railroad. The railway reopened in time for this year’s Labor Day Holiday. The 116-year-old railway shut down after a derailment four years ago for a $5-million safety upgrade. Its small role in the 2016 Academy Award winning film, La La Land, renewed interest in the facility, which is a favorite of visitors.
