Wuppertal Suspension Railway

The Wuppertal Suspension Railway is an innovative, vertical railway system in Wuppertal, Germany, that uses a continuous, elevated track suspended from a series of strong supporting beams. Instead of traditional tracks on the ground, the train literally hangs from the overhead structure, moving smoothly along its route. It operates using electric power and connects various parts of the city, offering a unique aerial view. Opened in 1901, it’s one of the world’s oldest suspension railways still in operation, showcasing a blend of engineering ingenuity and urban mobility.
