Schwebebahn: Why Wuppertal's Trains Are Much Cooler Than Yours
Wuppertal has possibly the world's most badass public transport: a 120-year-old swingin' suspension railway. But the question is: why? When everyone else was busy building trams and undergrounds, what made Wuppertal say NOPE, and build this instead?

(IT) La Wuppertaler Schwebebahn (letteralmente ferrovia sospesa di Wuppertal, il cui nome ufficiale per esteso è Einschienige Hängebahn System Eugen Langen) è una ferrovia sospesa (sistema Langen) tedesca che effettua un servizio di tipo metropolitano nella città di Wuppertal. Ha la particolarità di utilizzare convogli appesi a una rotaia posta su una struttura portante elevata rispetto alla superficie stradale. Entrata in funzione nel 1901 è, per tale motivo, la più antica ferrovia di questo tipo al mondo. Ancora in funzione ai giorni nostri, comprende attualmente 23 fermate tra i capolinea (Wuppertal-Vohwinkel e Oberbarmen). È stata oggetto di restauro e rinnovamento dal 2001 al 2005.
