Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative chronicles the rise and fall of Angels Flight, an iconic incline railway in Los Angeles that operated from 1901 to 1969, transporting millions between a bustling downtown and a declining Victorian neighborhood. Celebrated in popular culture, it inspired numerous novels and films. Following its closure due to urban redevelopment, the railway lay dormant for decades before a controversial restoration in the 1990s, which led to a tragic accident. Now reopened, Angels Flight is poised to continue its storied legacy in the evolving landscape of Los Angeles.
