Los Angeles's Angels Flight

Authors

More about the book

The narrative chronicles the rise and fall of Angels Flight, an iconic incline railway in Los Angeles that operated from 1901 to 1969, transporting millions between a bustling downtown and a declining Victorian neighborhood. Celebrated in popular culture, it inspired numerous novels and films. Following its closure due to urban redevelopment, the railway lay dormant for decades before a controversial restoration in the 1990s, which led to a tragic accident. Now reopened, Angels Flight is poised to continue its storied legacy in the evolving landscape of Los Angeles.
