ANGELS FLIGHT
Built in 1901, Angels Flight has two red cars – named Sinai and Olivet – and an ornate archway labeled “Angeles Flight”, to ferry passengers up and down a steep incline in the Bunker Hill district. The landmark funicular railway is said to be the world's shortest incorporated railway; it's a public utility operated as a franchise granted by the City of L. A. Closed for restoration, it will reopen “in the near future.” Angels Flight was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 13, 2000.

I wanted to make sure everyone knew about an informative resource under the "Neighborhoods" tab of the Los Angeles Times website. It's called "Mapping L.A.", and it's a great way to find out more about 114 neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
