@@RailRelaxation Absolutely. You can easily draw the Amtrak network on a single sheet of paper, looks like the bus net of a small town. Except the bus would run every hour rather than 3 times a week. Local passenger trains in the US are a bit like subways in Europe: Only the absolutely biggest cities have them.

@@rogeriomonteiro760 Yes it is. Check out the video from 1902. It's been colorzied and looks surreal. Almost hard to believe that horsedrawn carriages were part of everyday life for people back then. To see it just search: [60 fps] The Flying Train, Germany, 1902
Familiar scenery for me. I live in Düsseldorf and I took the Schwebebahn many times by now. It's the main attraction when you're in Wuppertal and a unique experience. Fun fact: Düsseldorf itself has a suspension railway at the airport. As well as Dortmund at it's university. You could say that the Rhine-Ruhr area is the main region for suspension railways :)
"Aus Sicht des Lokführers"... die Windgeräusche vermitteln mir, dass der arme Lokführer vorn an der Schwebebahn klebt :D Tolle Fahrt, wirklich einzigartig!

Hochinteressante Mitfahrt auf einer auf der Welt einmaligen Hoch- bzw Schwebebahnbahnstrecke, einer zum Zeitpunkt des Baues technischen Meisterleistung. - A very interesting ride on an elevated or suspension railway line that is unique in the world and was a technical masterpiece at the time of construction.
Hi, I took the entire ride. Never seen such a Schwebebahn before. Somehow weird to take a trip along a river without floating on the water. Nice views and, due to the season, pretty good visibility as well. Great, relaxing idea, thanks! Greetings from Finland!
I used to live in Wuppertal in the '70's and loved it! Someday I would love to go back! I'm sure that I wouldn't recognize it! I used to take the Schwebebahn and the Strassenbahn to work every day. It was fun!
I mean I don't wish to sound overly negative, since it's a cool and useful method, but I do think it still negatively impacts the aspect of the river and the look of the city.

Da werden Erinnerungen an den Sommer 2001 wach. Damals habe ich in dem Gebäude links bei 6,6 km kurz vor der Ohligsmühle gearbeitet. Beim Fenster streichen habe ich immer auf den historischen Kaiserwagen gewartet. Durch sein einzigartigen Motorsound war er frühzeitig erkennbar. ❤
Thank you for this very nice video taken on a sunny day and showing the excellent integration of the Schwebebahn with the landscape. It blends in the city and what could have been a hugly meccano disappears nicely and it provides a convenient and airborne mean of transportation. J'adore.

@johnjeanb Thank you very much for your comment. I am glad that you liked the video, the line is amazing. I Agree, the integration of the suspension monorail with the landscape is amazing and not talk about the engineering works on the structure...
I first saw this in a book in the early 50’s with the Wuppertal trams running underneath. When I finally got to ride it in the 1990’s it was one big tick on my bucket list. Since then I have ridden on it many times. There is a cracking brauhause at the eastern end! There is a short line in Dresden but it is in the form of a funicular. Great video, but pity that you didn’t get a ride round the loop at the ends.
Great video, enjoyed the trip. I had been on this in the late 90's, only for 6 stations as I Was on time constraints because of the concert group I Was travelling with.
8‘54‘‘ It‘s not Locher Brücke it‘s Loher Brücke (it‘s correct at 53‘40‘‘) But to be honest: I watched so many drives with the Schwebebahn and this is one of the best. Filmed in wide angle with descriptions of what to see right and left. THX for having me on the trip 🚟👍
Herzlichen Dank. Kenne die Bahn seit langer Zeit, aber diese tolle Fahrt aus der Sicht des Fahrers konnte ich bisher nicht erleben. Interessant wäre die Durchfahrt der Umkehrschleife gewesen, aber man kann nicht alles haben!
I was born and grew up in Wuppertal, but haven't lived there for a long time. There's a small mistake at 8:50, because it says Loher Brücke.

I well recall in 1950 on a train from the Hook of Holland to Iserlohn whilst In thee British Army when I saw this overhead gantry suspended train over a river in Wuppertal which did surprise me being unlike anything I have ever seen before. But if my memory serves me right the train was colour red and more futuristic than current being torpedo shape.
Nicht nur technisch einzigartig. Die Wuppertaler Schwebebahn ist auch eine der interessantesten und schönsten städtischen Nahverkehrsstrecken meiner Meinung nach.
@@gerdvomhau4499 Ich denke, hätte Siegen dem Bau zugestimmt, würden einige Naturschutzverbände auf die Barrikaden gehen. Die Wuppertaler Schwebebahn ist spektakulär, ein Industriedenkmal, aber schön ist sie nicht. VG
Wonderful! The only thing that could make it better is if it were late Spring when all the trees are green and all the flowers are in bloom -- and no people wearing coats (indicating cold weather; I HATE the cold! :-) Maybe for a future video?? 😉
Wirklich schöne Optik. Aber ich denke, Du hast Deine Cam durch das geöffnete Fenster, relativ weit vorne, außen am Fensterrahmen befestigt! Außerdem hört man keine typischen Geräusche des DMI und keine Funksprüche. Dafür aber Windgeräusche. Die Position ist auch sehr weit rechts! Das gleiche bei Deiner Führerstandsmitfahrt bei Nacht. Versteh mich nicht falsch. Deine beiden Videos sehen wirklich toll aus. Aber da ich selbst als Fahrer diese Bahn in Wuppertal fahre, würde ich sagen, das war nicht in der Fahrerkabine. 38:20 Der Fahrer der entgegenkommenden Bahn war ich. Habe es gerade im Dienstplan nachgeschaut.
@Krimskrams-Kanal Danke. Thank you for your comment. It is an interesting and beautiful journey. I mount the camera outside the cab, because of the picture quality.
A most remarkable engineering achievement, especially in 1898 (!). It was invented by Eugen Langen. See more in Wikipedia. Also a great video! Thanks RR. Added to Long Cab Rides playlist.
Is there any commercial justification for this line to exist, since most stations are empty. The long-distance between the stations may contribute to this phenomenon. The video is as excellent as all your cab rides. Thank you.
Vielen Dank für das tolle Video. Beste Qualität. 🙂 Aber die Fahr- und Türgeräusche gefallen mir nicht - da waren die alten Wagen besser. Dieses Klack und roll,roll,roll der Türen hätte man in die neuen Wagen übernehmen müssen. Hat meine Jugend geprägt und ist immer noch präsent...

The Wupper seems to offer significant head. If someone were to put a weir upstream and run the water into a long penstock, they could harvest a bit of power from it.

The Wupper seems to offer significant head. If someone were to put a weir upstream and run the water into a long penstock, they could harvest a bit of power from it.

Are they using ERTMS for signalling or just the signs as block markers for some other cab-based system (the blue sign with the yellow arrow)
It uses ETCS Level 2 signalling (no lights, all radio controlled) but it is (again) a unique solution as it usea TETRA for radio communications and not GSM-R.
