Angels Flight Railway Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 1901, the foundation has operated a funicular railway providing transportation between Hill Street and California Plaza in downtown Los Angeles for over a century. The railway is the world’s shortest railway, with a length of only 298 feet. The railway is composed of two counterbalanced cars, named Sinai and Olivet, which travel up and down a steep incline.

The railway was closed from 1969 to 1996, but after being refurbished and equipped with new safety features, was reopened for public use. The foundation is dedicated to providing a safe and reliable transportation service for the public, as well as preserving the historic Angels Flight railway. The foundation is also responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the railway, as well as organizing various events and educational programs that promote the railway’s history and importance.

The foundation offers a variety of tickets, including a round trip, a one-way trip, and a day pass. Additionally, they offer discounts for seniors, children, and disabled persons. The foundation also provides a shuttle service, which operates during certain times of day, and provides access to various points around downtown Los Angeles.

The foundation receives no public funding, and is instead supported by donations and ticket sales. They also sell merchandise, such as t-shirts and souvenirs, to raise money for their cause. The foundation has been recognized for its commitment to preserving Angels Flight, and has been featured in several documentaries and books.
