A tram in the air, a photo from Nordrhein-Westfalen, West

Photographer's Note

Weather was open for improvement when we visited Wuppertal.
This city of 355.000 inhabitants is crowded for more than 20 kilometers along and inside Wupper valley. The lack of traffic space was so urgent that a completely new type of hanging monorail system was established as early as in 1901. Most of it has been set up above Wupper river (which was the only free space), but there are some parts which do not follow the river.
The "Schwebebahn" is a very safe system, there has only been one incident leading to casualties.
This here is "Adlerbr點ke" station, the eagles' bridge, as obvious.

Excellent solution for a congested city, Sven, wonder why not implemented around many other places.
A graet reportage.
Have a nice weekend,
Ike

*** Took a virtual tour along the B7 road & river on Google-Map, but did not find this specific beautiful bridge and the station above.

Witaj Sven!
A very interesting construction.
A tram in the air makes impression.
Good POV, colors and sharpness.
Well done.
Have a nice weekend.
