The real place
Angels Flight opened in 1901 and calls itself the world's shortest railway. In 1947 it ran from Hill Street at 3rd Street, where the game shows it; it was dismantled in 1969 and rebuilt in 1996 half a block south, with the original cars Olivet and Sinai.
Visiting
Rides cost a small fare and take about a minute. Ride up to California Plaza, then walk down to Grand Central Market across Hill Street at the bottom.
