I don't know if this is what you meant?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_Mountain_Railway

"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."

Mot knowing the area, is Pebble Beach near where you are talking about?
