Angels Flight, view from lower end during closure flow (May 2004) while cars were placed in storage subsequently an blow.

Angels Flight is a landmark and celebrated 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge^{[ citation needed ]} funicular railway in the Bunker Colina commune of Downtown Los Angeles, California. It has two funicular cars, Olivet and Sinai, running in opposite directions on a shared cable, on the 298 feet (91 m) long inclined railway.^[3]

The funicular has operated on two unlike sites, using the same cars and station elements. The original Angels Flight location, with trackage forth the side of Tertiary Street Tunnel and connecting Colina Street and Olive Street, operated from 1901 until it was airtight in 1969, when its site was cleared for redevelopment.

The second Angels Flight location opened 1 half block southward of the original location in 1996, mid-block between 3rd and 4th Streets, with tracks connecting Hill Street and California Plaza.^[3] It was close down in 2001, following a fatal accident, and took nine years to commence operations again. The railroad restarted operations on March xv, 2010.^[4] Information technology was airtight again from June 10, 2011 to July 5, 2011, and and so once more later on a small derailment incident on September 5, 2013. The investigation of this 2013 incident led to the discovery of potentially serious safety problems in both the blueprint and the performance of the funicular.^{[five] [6]}

Before the 2013 service suspension, the cost of a ane-style ride was 50 cents (25 cents for Metro pass holders). Although it was marketed primarily as a tourist novelty, information technology was frequently used by local workers to travel between the Downtown Historic Cadre and Bunker Hill. In 2015, the executive director of the nearby REDCAT arts center described the railroad equally an important "economical link", and there was pressure for the city to fund and re-open the railroad.^[3] After safety enhancements were completed, Angels Flight reopened for public service on August 31, 2017, at present charging $one for a one-style ride (50 cents for Metro laissez passer holders).^{[7] [8]}

Original location [edit]

Built in 1901 with financing from Colonel J.West. Eddy, every bit the "Los Angeles Incline Railway", Angels Flight began at the west corner of Hill Street at Third and ran for ii blocks uphill (northwestward) to its Olive Street terminus. Angels Flight consisted of two vermillion "boarding stations" and two cars, named Sinai and Olivet, pulled up the steep incline by metallic cables powered by engines at the upper Olive Street station. As one automobile ascended, the other descended, carried down by gravity.^{[9] [10] [11] [12]} An entrance labeled "Angels Flying" greeted passengers on the Hill Street entrance, and this proper noun became the official proper name of the railway in 1912 when the Funding Company of California purchased the railway from its founders.^[13]

The original Angels Flight was a conventional funicular, with both cars continued to the same haulage cable. Different more than modern funiculars it did not take track brakes for apply in the upshot of cable breakage, only information technology did have a split up prophylactic cable which would come into play in case of breakage of the principal cable. Information technology operated for 68 years with a good safety record,^[xiv] with 3 notable exceptions: in 1913 a derailment occurred whereby a motorcar was jumped and ane lady with it, in 1937 when a sleeping salesman was dragged several yards by the motorcar, and a fatal accident in 1943 when a pedestrian walking upwards the tracks was killed. ^[15]

During operation in its original location, the railroad was endemic and operated past six boosted companies post-obit Colonel Boil. In 1912 Eddy sold the railroad to Funding Company of Los Angeles who in turn sold it to Continental Securities Visitor in 1914. Robert Westward. Moore, an engineer for Continental Securities, purchased Angels Flight in 1946. In 1952 Lester B. Moreland and Byron Linville, a prominent banker at Security First National Banking concern, purchased it from Moore and the following year Lester B. Moreland'south family unit purchased Byron Linville'due south interest in the Railway, becoming sole stockholder. In 1962 the city forced Moreland to sell though condemnation and the city'southward redevelopment agency hired Oliver & Williams Elevator Company to run it until information technology was close down on May 18, 1969. The following day the dismantling began and the cars were hauled away to be stored in a warehouse. The railroad's arch, station house, drinking fountain, and other artifacts were taken to an outdoor storage m in Gardena, California.^[16]

The only fatality that involved the original Angels Flying occurred in the autumn of 1943, when a crewman attempting to walk upwardly the runway itself was crushed beneath one of the cars.^[xiii]

In November 1952, the Beverly Hills Parlor of the Native Daughters of the Golden West erected a plaque to commemorate fifty years of service by the railway. The plaque reads:^[17]

Built in 1901 by Colonel J.W. Eddy, lawyer, engineer and friend of President Abraham Lincoln, Angels Flight is said to be the world's shortest incorporated railway. The counterbalanced cars, controlled by cables, travel a 33 percent grade for 315 feet. It is estimated that Angels Flight has carried more than passengers per mile than any other railway in the world, over a hundred million in its first fifty years. This incline railway is a public utility operating under a franchise granted past the Urban center of Los Angeles.

In 1962, at its first coming together, the city'south new Cultural Heritage Lath designated Angels Flight a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (No. 4), along with iv other locations. Los Angeles was early in enacting preservation laws, and the first sites chosen each were "considered threatened to some extent," co-ordinate to the history of the board, now the Cultural Heritage Commission.^[1]

Dismantling [edit]

Angels Flight; May 1969, Sign posted before the railway was airtight in 1969

The railway was closed on May xviii, 1969^{[18] [19] [20]} when the Bunker Hill area underwent a controversial total redevelopment which destroyed and displaced a customs of almost 22,000 working-form families renting rooms in architecturally significant just run-down buildings, to a modern mixed-use district of high-ascension commercial buildings and modern flat and condominium complexes. Both of the Angels Flying cars, Sinai and Olivet, were so placed in storage at 1200 S. Olive Street, Los Angeles. This was the location of Sid and Linda Kastner'southward United Business organisation Interiors. At this location the Kastners maintained "The Bandstand," a private museum. The Bandstand featured antique coin-operated musical instruments where i of the cars (Sinai) was on display in the museum. Olivet was stored in the garage of the building. They were stored at this location for 27 years at no charge in anticipation of the railway's restoration and reopening, which according to the city's Redevelopment Agency, was originally slated to take place inside two years.

Reconstruction [edit]

After existence stored for 27 years, the funicular was rebuilt and reopened by the newly formed Angels Flight Railway Foundation on February 24, 1996, one-half a cake south of the original site.^[21] Although the original cars, Sinai and Olivet, were used, a new track and haulage system was designed and congenital, a redesign which had unfortunate consequences five years later. As rebuilt, the funicular was 91 meters (298.6 feet) long on an approximately 33-pct grade.

Car movement was controlled by an operator inside the upper station business firm, who was responsible for visually determining that the track and vehicles were clear for movement, closing the platform gates, starting the cars moving, monitoring the operation of the funicular cars, observing auto stops at both stations, and collecting fares from passengers. The cars themselves did not carry whatever staff members.^[14] Angels Flight was added to the National Register of Celebrated Places on October thirteen, 2000.

2001 accident [edit]

On February 1, 2001, Angels Flight had a serious accident when car Sinai, approaching the upper station, instead rolled downhill uncontrollably and collided into Olivet almost the lower station. The accident killed a tourist, 83-twelvemonth-erstwhile Leon Praport, and injured seven others, including Praport'southward wife, Lola.

Angels Flying car in 2008

The National Transportation Prophylactic Board (NTSB) conducted an investigation into the accident and determined that the likely cause was the improper design and structure of the Angels Flight funicular bulldoze and the failure of the various regulatory bodies to ensure that the railway organisation conformed to initial safety design specifications and known funicular safety standards. The NTSB further remarked that the company that designed and built the drive, command, braking and booty systems, Lift Engineering/Yantrak, was no longer in business organisation and that the whereabouts of the company'south chief was unknown.^[14]

Unlike the original, the new funicular used two carve up haulage systems (i for each car), with the 2 systems connected to each other, the drive motor, and the service brake by a gear train; it was the failure of this gear train that was the immediate crusade of the accident since information technology effectively disconnected Sinai both from Olivet 's balancing load and from the service brake. There were emergency brakes that acted on the rim of each haulage drum, but due to inadequate maintenance, the emergency brakes for both cars were inoperative, which left Sinai without any brakes once its concrete connection to the service brake was lost. Opposite to what might be expected, the new funicular was constructed with neither safety cable nor track brakes, either of which would have prevented the blow; the NTSB was unable to identify some other funicular worldwide that operated without either of these safety features.^[fourteen]

Angels Flight; c.  1905, View of the original Angels Flight with the Tertiary Street Tunnel and an observation tower

Records signal that the emergency brake had been inoperative for 17 to 26 months due to the fact that a normally airtight hydraulic solenoid valve had been placed in a location where the design called for a unremarkably open valve and that its ill fitted solenoid was burned out.

During the 17 to 26 months that the emergency braking arrangement was non operating, the braking system was tested daily, simply since the service brake and emergency brake were tested simultaneously, there was no fashion to tell if the emergency brake was functioning without looking at the brake pads or hydraulic pressure gauges during the test. The exam was always performed with the Sinai auto traveling uphill, which meant that when the ability was cutting and the brakes practical (as office of the test), Sinai 's momentum caused the car to continue moving uphill a short distance (slackening the cable) and then to roll back from gravity, jerking the cable tight.

If the emergency brakes had been functional, they would have defenseless Sinai when the cable snapped tight, but without the emergency brakes, the force of the jerk caused past the daily test was directed through the spline (the part that failed) and to the service brake. In improver, it was found that the original design called for the spline to be made of AISI 1018 steel on ane cartoon and of AISI 8822 steel on a different drawing, simply it is unlikely that this ambivalence in the pattern contributed to the accident.^[22] Even so, regular analysis of gear box oil-samples was discontinued in May 1998, despite the fact that the company performing the tests recommending that the ascent particulate level in the oil samples warranted the test occurring more frequently.^[14] The continued rising particulate level may have been in role caused by unusual wearable of the splines. Continued testing could have resulted in an inspection to locate the cause of the unusual article of clothing.

As well the design failures in the haulage system, the system was also criticised by the NTSB for the lack of gates on the cars and the absence of a parallel walkway for emergency evacuation. The funicular suffered serious damage in the accident.

Evaluation [edit]

The death and injuries could have been avoided if whatsoever i of the following had taken identify:^[22]

• The 1996 renovation had included installing track brakes or safety cables.
• The biennial oil analysis tests had not been discontinued in May 1998 (which would accept shown ascent levels of particulate material in the oil and may take caused a total inspection of the organization to take place).
• A single haulage organisation, similar to the start Angels Flying, had been used rather than the organisation that had separate cables for each car.
• The emergency brake hydraulic solenoid valve had been installed according to the design (equally normally open). Merely if the brake fluid had been changed equally instructed in the maintenance transmission, this would not have happened.
• The technician installing the solenoid had obtained a properly fitting function when discovering the solenoid did non properly fit the valve, instead of forcing it in with a tool (the installed valve was a newer design, for which the older solenoid was dimensionally incompatible, and tool marks on the solenoid show that information technology was forced in).
• The daily brake test had included testing the service brake and emergency restriction separately instead of testing them simultaneously (which fabricated information technology impossible to confirm that they were both working).
• The daily brake test procedure had included looking at the brake pads and the hydraulic pressure in the emergency brake organisation to confirm it was operating.
• The pressure gauges for the hydraulic brake systems had been placed on the operator's control panel instead of in the equipment chiffonier.
• The daily brake examination had involved applying the brakes more than gradually so that the up-hill-bound machine would not have the momentum to produce slack in the cable and roll backwards, jerking the cablevision tight.
• The splines (the office that failed) had been designed to exist extraordinarily strong to withstand the excessive force that occurred when the brake test was performed and the emergency brake was inoperative (which resulted in the force of the cablevision existence pulled tight to be directed to the service brake through the splines, rather than to the emergency brake which was earlier the splines).

Repair [edit]

Interior of the renovated Angels Flying car in March 2010.

On November 1, 2008, both of the repaired and restored Angels Flight cars, Sinai and Olivet, were put dorsum on their tracks and, on Jan 16, 2009, testing began on the railway.^{[23] [24]} On November 20, 2009, another pace in the approving process was achieved.^{[25] [ failed verification ]} On March ten, 2010, the California Public Utilities Committee canonical the safety certificate for the railroad to begin operating again.^{[26] [27]}

The new drive and safety system completely replaced the system which was the cause of the fatal 2001 blow. Like the original Angels Flight design and well-nigh traditional funicular systems, the new drive organization incorporates a single primary haulage cable, with one automobile attached to each stop. Also like the original blueprint, a 2d safety cable is utilized. To further enhance safety, unlike the original design, each car now has a rail restriction arrangement, every bit a backup to the main fill-in emergency brakes on each bull-wheel. Some other added condom feature is an independent evacuation motor to move the cars should the main motor fail for any reason.^[28]

Reopening and temporary endmost [edit]

Angels Flying reopened to the public for riding on March fifteen, 2010. The local media covered the event with involvement.^[29] Merely a calendar month later on re-opening, Angels Flight had had over 59,000 riders.^[30] Information technology connected the Historic Cadre and Broadway commercial district with the hilltop Bunker Hill California Plaza urban park and the Museum of Contemporary Fine art – MOCA. The toll of a one-way ride at that time was 50 cents, 25 cents with TAP card.

On June 10, 2011, the California Public Utilities Commission ordered Angels Flight to immediately cease operations due to article of clothing on the steel wheels on the two cars. Inspectors determined that their xv-year-old wheels needed replacing.^[31] The railway reopened on July 5, 2011, after eight new custom-made steel wheels were installed on the two cars.^[32]

2013 accident [edit]

On September v, 2013, i auto derailed near the middle of the guideway. One passenger was on board the derailed car, and 5 passengers were on lath the other auto. There were no injuries. Passengers had to be rescued from the cars by firefighters. The brake condom organisation had been "intentionally" bypassed using a small tree co-operative.^{[iii] [half-dozen] [33]}

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause of the September 5, 2013, accident was the intentional bypass of the funicular safe organization with Angels Flying direction knowledge; and Angels Flight direction continuation of revenue operations despite prolonged, and repeated, unidentified organization safe shutdowns.

—National Transportation Condom Board, Railroad Accident Brief^[6]

The NTSB also noted a problem with the basic pattern: "The car body and the wheel-axle assembly are not articulated." The passing section of the track involves a short turning section which allows the cars to laissez passer each other. The axles do non turn to follow the runway, resulting in the cycle flanges grinding against the rail, causing excessive wheel wear. This trouble, combined with safety organisation problems which caused unwanted track restriction deployment, resulted in a derailment.^[6]

2017 reopening [edit]

Plans to bring the railway back into service began in January 2017.^[34] Safety upgrades were made to the doors of the cars, and an evacuation walkway was added adjacent to the runway. These enhancements were made by ACS Infrastructure Evolution and SENER through an agreement with Angels Flight Railway Foundation in substitution for a share of the funicular'south acquirement over the side by side three decades. Angels Flight reopened for public service on Baronial 31, 2017.^[7]
