  2. Never saw this before. So amazing this system of transportation, bordering on steampunk and electric/diesel punk. The engineering of this system must have been a nightmare. Imagine the amazement of people when it took its first drive over the cities, towns and villages. Where did all that go I wonder? Lost to the ravages of war and time I would guess.

  3. This is the "Schwebebahn" (floating train) in Wuppertal, Germany.
    It's still on service today.
