Angels Flight
Los Angeles CA

While not actually a trolley line, this electric operation, which bills itself as the "Worlds Shortest Railway", was built in 1901, and operated until 1969. It was then dismantled and stored. In 1996 it reopened about 200 yards from its original location, and operates from 645AM to 10PM daily. The fare is 50 cents.

In 2001, an accident put the line out of service. The cars were rebuilt in 2002, the station houses were rebuilt in 2007, and the Drive and Control system were reinstalled in 2009. The line reopened in 2010.
