Photos suspended railway Wuppertal
The 1901 schwebebahn is an electric monorail in the German city Wuppertal that 'rides' a 13 kilometer suspended track in 30 minutes. Part of the tracks are above the small river Wupper, another part is above streets. The suspended railway also 'crosses' a large Bayer chemicals industrial site. Sometimes the 'Kaiserwagen' carriage from 1900 has special tours (see photo #10).
