Wuppertal Monorail

At last I've succeeded to take the Wuppertal Monorail (Schwebebahn)!

No rails on the ground, but above the trains!

Inside, the trains look like (almost) any metro car...

The most spectacular is not to hover above the river Wupper...

no - that's when the train leans on curves (guaranteed effect!)

Above the streets of Vohwinkel.

Sonnborner Straße Station

Traffic jam? No problem!

Arriving to Vohwinkel terminus.

This is a switch

The renovated Vohwinkel terminus

I'm not dreaming, this must be...

... the "Imperial" car (Kaiserwagen) built 1900!

In the other end of the line is...

... Oberbarmen Bahnhof terminus, which looks like to be in original condition!

But the nicest monorail station is by the Wuppertal main (railway) station.
