    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 :)

    I work in public transportation in the USA and it makes me so jealous to see how advanced and well planned out European transportation is. We are decades, if not a century behind in the US. It’s pathetic how much the auto industry has monopolized transportation here.

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @madeinwuppertal
    @madeinwuppertal 4 місяці тому +2

    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.

    The engineering of this is amazing though I worry what happens if the river floods and disrupts the supports. It is a very efficient use of space and must cut down road congestion a great deal, the only thing is, it terrifies me. Both beautiful and terrifying. Being so far above water gives me nightmares.
