Great photos.
Is the suspended railway more of a tourist thing, as opposed to public transport?

You can fly to Duesseldorf airport (which also has a suspended monorail), Wuppertal is only a few S-Bahn stations from there. It's also easy to make a round-trip through the Rhine-Ruhr area public transport from there.Is there an international airport in Wuppertal or near? I would like to go there and check this suspended railway.
:yes:
Thanks!

YANA: you are not alone (ok, lame Doctow Who reference). No, I love the steel, one of the great things I love about the Chicago "L". Concrete seems colder and uglier to me.Am I the only one who likes that old industrial style?
From what I remember, the trains are rather quiet. Here's a video I took that might illustrate the noise. Apart from the clunky noise of the closing doors it's not loud.How loud are these trains travelling down streets like this, e.g., are the older fleets louder?
