Wuppertal Suspension Railway
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.

Why Wuppertal's Suspended Monorail Wasn't The Future Of Travel
In Wuppertal, Germany, there's the Schwebebahn: a suspended monorail that carries 80,000 people a day above the streets of the city, and above the river Wupper. It's a wonderful thing: but it wasn't the future of travel, and here's why.

Let's Ride ... The Wuppertal Schwebebahn
It's time to go Dangling! When in Germany recently on the Siemens trip I realised that just a short ride away was a railway that was a suspended monorail up in the aie, and dangles down above a river, and that I really needed to go for a ride on it ... Thanks to Chris & Nicole for joining me, and translating for me! The German word for 'Sway' is 'Schwanken' and Christ later told me that "See it, say it, sorted" should be "Sieh es, Sag es, Geregelt" Tim Traveller's (it was his very first!) video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IFh6wFTJiQ

Wuppertal Schwebebahn 1902 & 2015 side by side video
When I found these two videos: https://youtu.be/EQs5VxNPhzk filmed in 1902 https://youtu.be/DgfRq4kEFro recorded in 2015 I realized it might be possible to line them up side by side to get an impression of what have changed after 113 years. The left video is left intact and I tried to line up the corresponding scenes in the right one by cutting and manipulating framerates. The duplicated frames in the right video are also present in the original and makes it a bit jerky. I made this just for fun and did not aim for a 100% match but it is still possible to see how buildings etc. have changed over time.

WUPPERTAL SUSPENSION RAILWAY: [ Second time lucky! ] The Schwebebahn suspended monorail.
The first time I came to Wuppertal to see this amazing suspension railway, it was a Sunday. Guess the only day of the week when the monorail doesn't operate. You got it. So, a few years later, I'm back, and it was worth the wait. This was my first ever suspended monorail, and it was a totally bizarre experience. *** FOLLOW ME AT: Web: http://www.planestrainseverything.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/planestrainsev1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/planestrainseverything/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/planestrainseverything/ *** MUSIC: Music courtesy of epidemicsound.com

Only four of the 20 stops run above solid ground. The entire trip takes about 30 minutes. More than 80,000 people use the suspension monorail on a daily basis.
In 2015 the first of 31 new vehicles Generation 15 or GTW 15 trains were introduced. Through the use of three-phase asynchronous motors, this is the first time that the possibility of energy recovery during braking has been exploited. The operating voltage has been increased from 600 to 750 volts. In terms of safety, an entirely new train safety system ETCS has been installed.
Wuppertal Schwebebahn has a sister suspension railway relationships with Shonan Monorail since 2018. Shonan Monorail is a suspension railway located in Kanagawa, Japan and connects the cities between Kamakura and Fujisawa.

In Wuppertal, Germany, there's the Schwebebahn: a suspended monorail that carries 80,000 people a day above the streets of the city, and above the river Wupper. It's a wonderful thing: but it wasn't the future of travel, and here's why.

It's time to go Dangling! When in Germany recently on the Siemens trip I realised that just a short ride away was a railway that was a suspended monorail up in the aie, and dangles down above a river, and that I really needed to go for a ride on it ...
Thanks to Chris & Nicole for joining me, and translating for me! The German word for 'Sway' is 'Schwanken' and Christ later told me that "See it, say it, sorted" should be "Sieh es, Sag es, Geregelt"

I realized it might be possible to line them up side by side to get an impression of what have changed after 113 years.
The left video is left intact and I tried to line up the corresponding scenes in the right one by cutting and manipulating framerates. The duplicated frames in the right video are also present in the original and makes it a bit jerky.
I made this just for fun and did not aim for a 100% match but it is still possible to see how buildings etc. have changed over time.

Wuppertal has possibly the world's most badass public transport: a 120-year-old swingin' suspension railway. But the question is: why? When everyone else was busy building trams and undergrounds, what made Wuppertal say "NOPE", and build this instead?

In this video you can enjoy the cab ride - train driver's view on famous and unique Wuppertal Suspension Railway (Schwebebahn) between the final stations of Oberbarmen BF station, Vohwinkel station and back in 4K/60 frames per second.
This journey leads us along the unique German Wuppertal Suspension Railway (Wuppertaler Schwebebahn). The line was originally called Eugen Langen Monorail Overhead Conveyor System, named for its inventor, Eugen Langen. It is the oldest electric elevated railway with hanging cars in the world and is a unique system in Germany. Construction of this suspension railway began in 1898 and the line was ceremoniously opened in 1901, with Emperor Wilhelm II taking a test ride with wife Auguste Viktoria.
The Schwebebahn 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). Only four of the 20 stops run above solid ground. The entire trip takes about 30 minutes. More than 80,000 people use the suspension monorail on a daily basis.
In 2015 the first of 31 new vehicles Generation 15 or GTW 15 trains were introduced. Through the use of three-phase asynchronous motors, this is the first time that the possibility of energy recovery during braking has been exploited. The operating voltage has been increased from 600 to 750 volts. In terms of safety, an entirely new train safety system ETCS has been installed.
Wuppertal Schwebebahn has a sister suspension railway relationships with Shonan Monorail since 2018. Shonan Monorail is a suspension railway located in Kanagawa, Japan and connects the cities between Kamakura and Fujisawa.

The first time I came to Wuppertal to see this amazing suspension railway, it was a Sunday. Guess the only day of the week when the monorail doesn't operate. You got it. So, a few years later, I'm back, and it was worth the wait. This was my first ever suspended monorail, and it was a totally bizarre experience.

Located in the hills of Wuppertal Germany is a unique suspended railway which opened in 1901. This is the oldest monorail system in the world and the only one of its kind. It is amazing to see how this centuries old transportation is still providing fast, efficient, smooth, pollution free, traffic free transportation today! The new trains which entered service in 2017 are sleek and modern. They have a sightseers window in the back perfect for viewing the river and city from above!
This is my second visit to Wuppertal and it does not disappoint!

Wuppertal Suspension Railway
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.
