Description:

Angelenos at the turn of the 20th Century couldn’t be bothered to walk up the steep incline from Hill street to Bunker Hill, so Angels Flight—the “Shortest Railway in the World” was born. The train ride lasted a minute and costed a penny. It was dismantled in 1969, but was reopened in ’96—though the fare was raised to a whopping 50 cents.
