Germany’s Incredible Hanging Railway
The hanging railway in Germany's western
central city of Wuppertal (pronounced Voopahtahl) is the oldest monorail system
in the world. Built in 1900, the Wuppertaler Schwebebahn or "floating
train" has been continuously operated since 1901, despite two world wars,
various accidents and other turbulent events.
