That's about how it goes with the Angels Flight -- the world's shortest incorporated railroad -- a downtown Los Angeles landmark that reopened on Thursday, four years after it shut down following a derailment.。

The Angels Flight's two cars run in opposite directions along the inclined railway for nearly 300 feet, a trip that takes just a couple of short minutes. Part of the appeal is its bumpy ride, and the illusion that the cars are about to collide -- before they safely swerve and pass without incident.。Well, most of the time. 。

Angels Flight has its own bumpy history, including a move down the block in 1969 that took nearly 30 years (it re-opened in '96), a fatal accident that shut it down in 2001 for nearly a decade, and that minor derailment in 2013 that revealed major safety issues. 。
Now that they've been addressed, this little engine that (mostly) could is running on the littlest track that could. The ride originally cost a nickel, but these days will set you back a buck -- or $0.50 for Metro Card holders, since it is considered a part of the city's public transportation system, after all.。Featured Video For You。Featured Video For You。A team of German students have built the world's fastest Hyperloop pod 。
