Schwebebahn, Wuppertal


Tijuana Taxi

Recommended Posts

These are from a visit to Wuppertal in NW Germany mainly on my part to see the unique suspended railway. (my wife visited her friend who lives there too 😀)
Weather was very atmospheric (a.k.a. foggy) so photos weren't great, this one gives you the general idea though.
The line runs for 13km following the route of the Wupper river along the valley and was opened in 1901
Its the main transport for the residents and not viewed as a tourist attraction, but it is a really great experience.

Pictured is one of the newer sets with the panoramic window at the rear, managed to get seated there for one complete trip

This is one of the older sets, again best I could do in the rather misty valley weather
