[4K] Suspension Railway in Wuppertal Germany Schwebebahn

Here I am taking you on a ride on the suspension railway in Wuppertal Germany Schwebebahn. The suspension railway in Wuppertal(Germany) is the oldest electric elevated railway with hanging cars in the world and is a unique system. The Wuppertal Suspension Railway (called Schwebebahn in German) nowadays carries up to 82,000 passengers a day through the city. Designed by Eugen Langen to sell to the city of Berlin the installation of the suspension railway with elevated stations was built in Wuppertal Barmen, Elberfeld and Vohwinkel between 1897 and 1903; the first track opened in 1901. The suspension railway(Schwebebahn) is still in use today as a normal means of local public transport, moving 25 million passengers annually as of 2008. The suspension railway runs along a route of 13.3 kilometres (8.3 mi), at a height of about 12 metres (39 ft) above the river Wupper between Wuppertal Oberbarmen and Sonnborner Street (10 kilometres or 6.2 miles) and about 8 metres (26 ft) above the valley road between Sonnborner Street and Wuppertal Vohwinkel (3.3 kilometres or 2.1 miles). At one point the suspension railway crosses the A46 motorway. The entire trip takes about 30 minutes. The Wuppertal suspension railway operates within the VRR transport association and accepts tickets issued by VRR companies. Due to an accident in November 2018, the suspension railway was closed down for nearly nine months. It re-opened on 1 August 2019.
