Bunker Hill’s poor old Angels Flight funicular can’t seem to stay in operation without major safety issues, back in 2002 a runaway car slipped down the 33 percent grade and crashed into the other car. In a more recent chapter of safety woes, the funicular is grounded after a derailment in 2012. To get Angels Flight moving again, the California Public Utilities Commission will require the Angels Flight Railway Company to file a Safety Certification Plan and a Safety Certification Verification Report. The required safety plan is meant to address unresolved issues including the operation of end gates and wheel maintenance.
