Angels Flight at Clay Street

A side view of two Angels Flight cable cars shortly after they crossed paths as they travel on the funicular tracks. The track for the rail cars is seen mid-air, from the side along Clay Street, with cement "brackets" holding it up in the air. Several buildings can be seen in the background. When Angels Flight - "the shortest railroad in the world" - first opened in 1901, there was only a small shelter at the top in 1910, a larger and permanent depot was built. When the funicular was dismantled in the 1990s, the upper station was reconstructed at the California Plaza
