IT'S LESS THAN FOUR HUNDRED
FEET LONG.
CALLED ANGELS FLIGHT
An Incline Plane Road, With Two
Cars, Operated by a Single Ten
Horse Power Electric Motor
Started and Stopped by Passen-
gers.

Probably the shortest paying street
railway in the world, and certainly one
where more rides can be obtained for
a dollar than anywhere else in Ameri-
ca is the "Angel's Flight" in Los
Angeles, Cal.
Formerly the pretty residence por-
ton of the city, "Olive Heights" could
only be reached either by a long de-
tour or climbing a great number Of
very steep steps. One of Los Angolec S
citizens conceived the idea that
railway up the steep incline could be
made to pay, and within a few weeks
he had his road in operation.
The road is $50 feet in length be-
tween terminal points, and rises 100
feet in this distance; it is built on the
three rail, automatic, turnout system.
The two cars, Olivet and Sinai, are at
tached to the ends of double cable,
which is wound over a drum operated
by a ten horse power electric motor at
the top of the hill. AS one car goes up,
the other desCends, the two cars
counterbalancing each other, and thus
cffecting great saving in power.
Entering the lower station, the first
thing we notice is the bill of fare
One ride Sc, rides 10c., 10 rides
25c., 100 rides $1.OO,' The cars will
hold ten people seated, which is the
limit; a number of signs announce
that no standing is allowed, as a sud
den jar might throw the passenger
out and down the steep incline An
other sign instruCts the passenger to
press the button when ready to start,
ard on his doing so the car starts.
During the ascent a beautiful view is
obtained of Los Angeles. Arriving at
the top, one steps from the car into
the ticket office, where he pays his
fare, and passes into a small building,
open at the sides and filled with com
Portable seats, from which the view
may be enjoyed, and where a sign in
forms the passenger that he has
reached ANGELS Rest" Here is a
pretty little terraced park with flowers
and a mountain. Then by climbing
the stairs of the large iron observa-
ton tower to the Angels View" 1856
feet above the street below, another
excellent view is had of Los Angeles,
the surrounding towns and the Pacific
Ocean.
1t was estimated that the patronage
Of the people living on the Heights
would pay the expenses of the road
with | cent fares, and that the tourist
and curiosity seeker, in their anxiety
to ride on so UNIQUE a road and obtain
the view from the tall tower (Which
b. the way, costs : cents extra,
would furnish the profit. As the cars
can make a trip every minute and the
one man in the power house can run
the cars, collect the fares and per-
form the duties of Ill the several Of
fiCiaIs necessary on an ordinary rail
way, the expenses are light, and the
enterprise bids fair to be as much of a
success from a financial standpoint as
it is from a mechanical One.-Scien-
tiffc American.
