5DMKII + 17-40mm, f/8, ISO 50, 30s Fake HDR (5 layers) This is the inside of Angels Flight located in Downtown Los Angeles, California. Angels Flight is a landmark funicular railway in the Bunker Hill district of Downtown Los Angeles, California. It has two funicular cars, Sinai and Olivet. The funicular has operated on two different sites, using the same cars and iconic station elements. The original Angels Flight location, with tracks connecting Hill Street and Olive Street, operated from 1901 until it was closed in 1969, when its site was cleared for redevelopment. The second Angels Flight location opened nearby to the south in 1996, with tracks connecting Hill Street and California Plaza. It was re-closed in 2001, after a fatal accident, and took nine years to commence operations again, on March 15, 2010. It had been running safely since, except for another closure from June 10, 2011 to July 5, 2011, with 25 cents the cost of a one-way ride.
A short film shows how much Bunker Hill has changed since the 1940s.
L.A. has undergone some major changes in just 60 years. RIP Every building in these photos.
