The Island Mountain Railway (Santa Catalina Island Incline Railway, or Angel's Flight) was a funicular railway at the resort town of Avalon on Santa Catalina Island, off the coast of California.
The railway was unique because it not only ran from Avalon's amphitheater to the top of a nearby mountain but it also ran down the mountain's other side to Lovers' Cove.
[1] At the time of the railroad's operation Santa Catalina Island was a popular seaside destination.
[2][3][4] A single car carried passengers up from the amphitheater in Avalon to the top of the hill overlooking Avalon.
A second car ran down the other side of the hill to Pebble Beach, in Lover's Cove.
