  3. You know Angels Flight. But what about L.A.’s other funicular railways?
    May 20, 2021 · original
    The landmark Angels Flight railway is a pivotal set in Perry Mason By PATT MORRISON You may just be getting home from one hideous slog of a commute, so I don’t need to tell you that Los Angeles is one humongous city. It’s 469 square miles, the size of one and a half New Yorks. If you were to take a rolling pin to L.A., the hills and canyons and mountains would flatten out into maybe another hundred square miles. The Hollywood sign hillside, the hilltop cup of Dodger Stadium, the knee-skinning slopes of Griffith Park — people who see L.A. for the first time marvel at the flatness of its flats, the rumpled reaches of its hills and mountains. Look at yourself in the mirror, L.A.: You’re like a surfer’s dream waves, preserved in bedrock. The soft, ski-mogul hills of downtown and Pico-Union and Mid-City; the oscillations of El Sereno and Eagle Rock and Baldwin Hills, Silver Lake and Echo Park
  4. REOPENING CELEBRATION, 4/15/10
    Apr 10, 2021 · original
    REOPENING CELEBRATION, 4/15/10 A celebratory day indeed! A special event in which all the personnel and organizations who donated the $3.5 million necessary for Angels Flight’s resumption of public service were feted! Here are the people who saw to it that Angels Flight was back in business, none among whom was more responsible than the President of the railway, John H. Welborne. It was he who stayed at the helm through years of effort, bringing together the teams and the individuals (and the monetary donations) who restored the cars, the tracks, the cables, the drive assembly and their installation, he who waded through piles of paperwork, legalities, and delays until finally the deed was done: Angels Flight was operational once more. Thank you, John! Legal Notice The name “Angels Flight” and the images of the Angels Flight® Railway and cars are copyrights and registered trademarks of t
  5. ACROSS THE FINISH LINE: OPENING DAY!
    Apr 10, 2021 · original
    ACROSS THE FINISH LINE: OPENING DAY! Today, if vindication or “redemption” was needed, it was given! All the countless thousands upon thousands of hours of sung and unsung effort behind the scenes finally paid off. President Welborne had led his teams of experts — Bragg Crane, Murray Latta, TIG/m, Dave Charlebois’ team of finish carpenters, R & R Electric, Integrated Mechanical Systems and all the others — to this triumphant day. The press was there of course, and more important: the families whose members had included the private owners of Angels Flight through the years were there to be represented, and to savor the sweetness of the day, made all the more sweet by the difficulties and challenges — yes, and even by the lack of faith coming from a few quarters here and there. The day started in the dark, as unobtrusive security personnel met at the Station House to discuss their tasks. T
  6. The Left Coast Mystery Writers Descend On Angels Flight!
    Apr 10, 2021 · original
    The Left Coast Mystery Writers Descend On Angels Flight! Saturday was full of surprises. Hundreds of mystery writers came to Angels Flight during their lunch break, a part of their itinerary. Officially known as the Left Coast Crime 2010 conference, this year’s attendees met at the Omni Hotel, and the emphasis was on mystery writer Michael Connelly, prolific author of the Harry Bosch mysteries. A very recent title: “Angels Flight,” in which private eye Harry Bosch finds out who stashed a dead body aboard one of Angel Flight’s cars! A large area just south of the Station House was set aside for a big spread of special brown bag French Dip Sandwich lunches from Phillipe’s (one of Harry’s favorite eateries in downtown L.A.), and there was a jazz quartet playing all of Harry’s favorite tunes. During lunch, the writers were given complimentary rides aboard Angels Flight, along with enthusiast

    Getting Ready to Reopen Today is one of the most important days in the run-up to reopening: general cleanup, long-standing barricades (nine years!) finally come down, and Angels Flight begins to look like Angels Flight!

    ENTERING THE HOME STRETCH, 3/4/10 Finally: All the government’s directives — including the ones issued at the last second — have been implemented. The Drive Assembly is fine-tuned and ready to go (just as it was back in April ’09), as are the tracks, the cables, the cars, and all safety and surveillance systems. The car operators are ready to take tickets, make change, operate the gates and turnstyles, and keep the cars transporting passengers! It’s time for the final cleanup, time to get things ready for the public! Today a cleaning crew comes in to polish up the Station House, the Arch, and Olivet and Sinai.

  10. THE HOME STRETCH? INSTALLING THE END GATES
    Apr 10, 2021 · original
    THE HOME STRETCH? INSTALLING THE END GATES At last the end is in sight. After a prodigiously difficult three-year restoration project, with countless slowdowns, challenges and difficulties, The California Public Utilities Commission issued one more directive at the end of 2009: put gates on the ends of the cars. In the last album you saw part of the fabrication process at TIG/m in Chatsworth. In this album you see the beginning of the installation process.
