Hanging Railway - Swing-sway railway is fast, efficient if you don't mind noise and like to live dangerously.Fifty years ago the people of Wuppertal, an ordinary little German city in the Ruhr, had a transport problem-how to fit a railway system into the already overcrowded main street. Their solution, only railway of its type in the world, is still a vital part of the town's transport system. Carriages suspended above the town on steel trestles clatter along the main street every five minutes, swinging round corners at 40 miles an hour. The swinging railway was not built for comfort, is not recommended to those likely to be seasick or have heart failure. August 06, 1949. (Photo by Kosmos Press Bureau London Ltd.).
