Today at lunch Adam and Mommy rode the "Shortest Railway in the World" (298 feet)- the Angels Flight funicular. It recently reopened after being closed for repairs for several years. Angels Flight dates back to 1901, when Bunker Hill was one of the most fashionable neighborhoods in Los Angeles and the cars, Olivet and Sinai, ferried prominent citizens up and down the steep slope between Hill and Olive streets. The beloved landmark was dismantled for "urban renewal" of the area in 1969. In the early 1990s, the Railway was refurbished and relocated a half-block south, reopening adjacent to California Plaza in 1996.
