A suspension railway is a form of elevated monorail where the vehicle is suspended from a fixed track (as opposed to a cable used in aerial tramways), which is built above street level, over a river or canal, or an existing railway track.
The British engineer Henry Robinson Palmer (1795–1844) filed a patent application for a horse-drawn suspended single-rail system in 1821, and constructed a demonstration at Woolwich Arsenal soon afterwards.
German industrial pioneer, thinker and politician Friedrich Harkort built a demonstration track of Palmers' system in 1826, in Elberfeld, Germany, at the time commercial centre of the early industrial area Wupper Valley. The steelmill owner had the vision of a coal-carrier railway between Wupper Valley and the nearby coal-mining region of Ruhr, which would connect his own factories in Elberfeld and Deilbachtal. Due to protests from mill owners that were not integrated along the line and from the transporting branch, this idea could not be executed.
The Wuppertal Suspension Railway (German: Wuppertaler Schwebebahn) is a suspension railway in Wuppertal, Germany.
Its full name is "Electric Elevated Railway (Suspension Railway) Installation, Eugen Langen System" (Anlage einer elektrischen Hochbahn (Schwebebahn), System Eugen Langen). It is the oldest electric elevated railway with hanging cars in the world and is a unique system.
Designed by Eugen Langen to sell to the city of Berlin, the installation with elevated stations was built in Barmen, Elberfeld and Vohwinkel between 1897 and 1903; the first track opened in 1901. The Schwebebahn is still in use today as a normal means of local public transport, moving 25 million passengers annually (2008).
The suspension railway runs along a route of 13.3 kilometres (8.3 mi), at a height of about 12 metres (39 ft) above the river Wupper between Oberbarmen and Sonnborner Straße (10 kilometres or 6.2 miles) and about 8 metres (26 ft) above the valley road between Sonnborner Straße and Vohwinkel (3.3 kilometres or 2.1 miles). At one point the railway crosses the A46 motorway. The entire trip takes about 30 minutes. The Wuppertal Suspension Railway operates within the VRR transport association and accepts tickets issued by the VRR companies.

China's first suspension railway line finished its test run in Chengdu, capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province, on Friday. The lithium-battery powered train, which has a speed of 60 km per hour, successfully ran along the 300-meter test section of the railway line, after being suspended from the line. Since Sichuan is the home of giant pandas, the train adopts the colors of the panda. More details: xhne.ws/IqfsY
China's 1st suspension railway line is ready for more systematic operations after two months'test in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province.
This is the strangest means of transport I've ever taken ! Actually, I hadn't plan to visit it during my stay in Dresden till I found a leaflet in the city transport office. My curiosity was definitely aroused by a strange picture representing the carriages of the Dresden suspension railway running beneath a kind of gigantic skeleton made of steel... What exactly was that « machine » half cable car, half funicular ? I really had to find out all about it ! I rushed out the city transport office and jumped onto the first tramway to the Loschwitz district. After crossing the magnificent "Blaues Wunder (blue wonder)" iron bridge on foot and a short walk later, I was standing in front of the lower station. And trust me : I didn't regret what I discovered !

The lithium-battery powered train, which has a speed of 60 km per hour, successfully ran along the 300-meter test section of the railway line, after being suspended from the line on Friday. The load capacity will be 120 passengers per train coach, said Zhai Wanming, chief designer of the project, from Southwest Jiaotong University. Based on the current test line, Zhai estimates the cost of the suspension railway is one-fifth to one-eighth of the cost of underground rail per kilometer. He also said that lithium batteries were environmentally friendly. The test section of the railway line will be expanded to 1.2 kilometers, for further tests on turning, climbing, ...
The Ueno Zoo Monorail is a 0.3 km (0.19 mi) long suspended monorail operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei). It is similar to the Schwebebahn Wuppertal, but has rubber tires rather than steel wheels.[9] The line began operating on December 17, 1958. (Video 16. Oct. 2016.)

Die Streckenlänge beträgt 13,3 km mit 20 Bahnhöfen.

Toy review and unboxing of the brilliant Brio Cargo Railway Wooden Train Set 33097. This toy train is one of the best I have looked at. Ok, this is not a Thomas And Friends toy train stuck on Sodor, this is a toy train set that's re-creating what real railways do, your child's imagination will run wild. My son absolutely loves this toy and it has daddy very impressed as well. This is a top quality toy that's so different to the cheap low budget wooden train toys. I think the outstanding quality here is the train set accessories, they add so much dimension to the playtime. It just works, and ticks all the boxes when looking over a toy. To add to the Brio experience we also look at Old Steam Engine and Tow Truck. There's an attention to detail that you just don't find on other wooden railway...

🔦🔦🔦 It's called level 320. 🔦🔦🔦 PART 2 [ ENG SUBS AVAILABLE ] The greatest attractions of the level 320 are the large scale mining machines presented in operation, as well as electric suspension railway. This is here the deepest located tourist route in a coal mine in Europe! Discovering level 320 is associated primarily with exploring the development of mining technology from the late nineteenth century until the present day. 📷📷📷Visitors during the two-hour tour discover for themselves how a mining shift looks like, the conditions in which coal is mined and what mother nature can do with mine corridors not protected by roof support. One of the most interesting attractions of the level 320 is the electric suspension mining railway ride. At this level also you can enjoy one of the most imp...

Hier nun mal ein spezielles Open Rails Video. Aufgenommen im sehr empfehlenswerten Freeware-Addon Wupper Express in der Version 12. Bestandteil der Strecke ist auch die Wuppertaler Schwebebahn, und das sogar komplett. Allerdings: Das Ganze ist eher experimenteller Natur. Denn standardmäßig ist diese nicht mit Aufgaben und fahrbaren Zügen versehen. So wurde hier der KI-Zug der Bareihe GTW72 fahrtüchtig gemacht mit einem Freeware-Führerstand eines B-Wagens und auch der Sound ist eher der Fantasie entsprungen. Ebenso sieht man, daß wegen der Bauweise der Schwebebahn natürlich getrickst werden mußte: Die Gleise sind größtenteils unsichtbar unterirdisch, die Bahn ist auch erhöht. Da die Außenansicht ansonsten unbrauchbar gewesen wäre, wurde die Passagieransicht - die der Wagen sowieso nicht hat...
