Angels Flight Railway (The Shortest Railroad in the World)
In Downtown Los Angeles at Hill Street between Third and Fourth Avenue is the Angels Flight Railway, which is nicknamed the shortest railroad in the world. It was built in 1901 to take people from the “old” part of downtown to the “new” part of downtown on top of the hill. The price? 1 cent!
Unfortunately the Angels Flight Railway has been closed since 2001 due to a fatal accident in where the brakes failed.. but the cars have been refurbished with a $3.2 million private grant and are set to re-open soon.. The new price… 25 cents! Inflation is killing us! 
Next time you’re in downtown Los Angeles, check out the Angels Flight Railway… it’s pretty neat!
