Shot in 1902, “The Flying Train” takes viewers on an uncommonly crisp journey aboard a suspended railcar in Wuppertal, Germany. Throughout the three-minute video, riders see residents walking across pedestrian bridges and down dirt roadways more than a century ago. The city is known still today for its schwebebahn, which is a style of hanging railway that’s unique to Germany. • @themuseumofmodernart recently pulled the black-and-white footage from its vault and said that curators originally believed it was shot with 70-millimeter film rather than 68. “Formats like Biograph’s 68mm and Fox’s 70mm Grandeur are of particular interest to researchers visiting the Film Study Center because the large image area affords stunning visual clarity and quality, especially compared to the more standard 35mm or 16mm stock,” a statement notes. • This particular clip has been upscaled to 4K with the aid of neural networks, FPS boosted to 60 frames per second, stabilized, and colorized by @shir.man from Neural Love.
