Incline Railways of Los Angeles and Southern California

Many believe Southern California is flat, but it has many hills and is surrounded by high mountains. Several spectacular incline railways were built and proposed over the years. Inclines such as Angels Flight, Court Flight, Mount Lowe Incline, Mount Washington Incline, Catalina Island Mountain Incline, Arrowhead Incline, and the nation's most modern and high-tech incline located at the Getty Center. 130 illustrations, maps, profiles, and index.
