RE: The suspended monorail in Wuppertal, Germany

in Train Spottinglast year

Gosh it's almost like a floating train, I'm amazed that it's been there for so long, one would think it's a modern invention. Was it a smooth ride?
It must have been quite an experience! Imagine the engineering design that went into it, especially back in the day before computer aided programs, calculators etc!
Thank you for taking us along 😉

It's a very smooth ride as can be seen from the video, I was just resting my phone on the rail. There was a little sway as it slowed down when entering the station, that was it.

These engineering projects always amazes me when they're so old and still so efficient, absolutely fascinating.

My hubby would have been fascinated and in awe, as he was in engineering himself, but roads and stormwater, on terra firma ;) There are some brilliant minds out there!
