L.A., Angels Flight

After being closed since 2013, this "shortest railroad in the world" reopened August 31, 2017. For details, see the Wikipedia article (end of the 3rd paragraph). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels_Flight. The photos of my last ride were taken August 19, 2011. The two cars are "Sinai" and "Olivet".
