Old footage of LA's Angel's Flight

Curbed LA shared a couple of videos of the old Angel's Flight railway in use back in the days when the world was still black and white (ok fine, there's a video in color too). The "world's shortest railway" originally gave people rides up Bunker Hill before going into disrepair. It was shut down for some time before opening again for a brief stint a few years ago (I rode it once maybe in 2010 or 2011) and has been closed for renovations since.

Look at how different the buildings around Bunker Hill are in these videos!
