As UK's longest train journey faces cancellation, the world's shortest train line in Los Angeles offers a swift alternative. The Angels Flight railway, spanning just 90 meters, completes its journey in under a minute, providing stunning cityscape views and a unique travel experience.
The UK's longest train journey is set to be axed in May, but locomotive fans can still take advantage of the world's shortest one.
The Angels Flight railway is situated in the Bunker Hill neighbourhood of downtown LA and what it lacks in length, it makes up for in views of the cityscape and Instagram appeal. And with its speedy timetable, the Angels Flight has ferried more passengers than any other railway line in the world. "This incline railway is a public utility operating under a franchise granted by the City of Los Angeles."
