Angels Flight Railway is a fun landmark and the shortest railroad in the world, located in downtown LA. It is a short, historic, and charming vintage tram ride at a steep angle. The ride itself is brief, less than two minutes, but that is part of the charm. It is an interesting experience for those who have never been on a funicular railway. The train itself is amazing and a pleasant surprise. It is a nice little short rail ride and good transportation for those who do not want to walk up the slope. The view at the top is nice. It is super affordable, costing $1.50 per way, or $0.75 with a tap card. They accept credit cards at the ticket booth, which is at the top. The weekends can be pretty popular, and sometimes the wait can get a little long. It is a cute railway that can be watched from the bottom or the top, with stairs available for those who prefer to walk. It is a must-do vintage tram ride if in the vicinity, conveniently located near other downtown spots. It is a fun, unique, and totally worth it LA experience.
Interesting place, the ride is only around 100 feet.

This is such a fun landmark in downtown LA. This is the shortest railroad in the world and it is at a steep angle. There is a discount if you use your tap card. The train itself is amazing. I rode it and I had a lot of fun.

Cute railway. You can watch it from the bottom or the top. There are also stairs if you prefer to walk/not pay for the ride.
