Angels Flight has always been a funicular as the definition is to have an object move by means of a rope or cable (
dictionary.reference.com). But yes, Angels Flight is now a "traditional" funicular in that both cars are attached to the same cable. There have also been other safety upgrades, such as computer controlled breaks and better safety checks.
It was kinda cool being interviewed by all the news stations.
