You probably are already aware, but this line is still running today. And, there are even a few intrepid folks who have made modules of this incredible railway and, I think, a commercially available model. Put 'wuppertal schwebebahn modell' in the YouTube search bar. There's a nice side-by-side video of the footage from 1902 with more recent video.
No, I didn't know it was still in operation. I just assumed something so interesting was now long defunct :-( I'm going to have to follow your tips for more elevated goodness. Thanks!

DeleteYes, I would've assumed we'd bombed it to scrap back in the war, but sometimes goodness survives a tragic time.
