Freeway Part 12

One of the highlights of Alex and Chloe's tour of downtown Los Angeles is Angels Flight. A funicular railway, Angels Flight was built in 1901 and transported people up and down Bunker Hill. It was closed and dismantled from it's original site on Third and Hill when Bunker Hill was razed in 1969 and reopened a half a block south in 1996. Angels Flight is one of the gems of downtown and I recommend everyone to go and experience it.

Here are some of my photos and sketches that I did of Angels Flight.
