Cab Ride Schwebebahn Suspension Railway - Wuppertal (Germany) train driver's view in 4K

In this video you can enjoy the cab ride - train driver's view on famous and unique Wuppertal Suspension Railway (Schwebebahn) between the final stations of Oberbarmen BF station, Vohwinkel station and back in 4K/60 frames per second.
This journey leads us along the unique German Wuppertal Suspension Railway (Wuppertaler Schwebebahn). The line was originally called Eugen Langen Monorail Overhead Conveyor System, named for its inventor, Eugen Langen. It is the oldest electric elevated railway with hanging cars in the world and is a unique system in Germany. Construction of this suspension railway began in 1898 and the line was ceremoniously opened in 1901, with Emperor Wilhelm II taking a test ride with wife Auguste Viktoria.
The Schwebebahn runs along a route of 13.3 kilometres (8.3 mi), at a height of about 12 metres (39 ft) above the river Wupper between Oberbarmen and Sonnborner Straße (10 kilometres or 6.2 miles) and about 8 metres (26 ft) above the valley road between Sonnborner Straße and Vohwinkel (3.3 kilometres or 2.1 miles). Only four of the 20 stops run above solid ground. The entire trip takes about 30 minutes. More than 80,000 people use the suspension monorail on a daily basis.
In 2015 the first of 31 new vehicles Generation 15 or GTW 15 trains were introduced. Through the use of three-phase asynchronous motors, this is the first time that the possibility of energy recovery during braking has been exploited. The operating voltage has been increased from 600 to 750 volts. In terms of safety, an entirely new train safety system ETCS has been installed.
Wuppertal Schwebebahn has a sister suspension railway relationships with Shonan Monorail since 2018. Shonan Monorail is a suspension railway located in Kanagawa, Japan and connects the cities between Kamakura and Fujisawa.

I work in public transportation in the USA and it makes me so jealous to see how advanced and well planned out European transportation is. We are decades, if not a century behind in the US. It’s pathetic how much the auto industry has monopolized transportation here.

@RailRelaxation Ай бұрын

@TheN747 I do not know the USA railways. If I am right there are more fright trains than passenger lines. Is that right?

@Quasihamster Ай бұрын

@@RailRelaxation Absolutely. You can easily draw the Amtrak network on a single sheet of paper, looks like the bus net of a small town. Except the bus would run every hour rather than 3 times a week. Local passenger trains in the US are a bit like subways in Europe: Only the absolutely biggest cities have them.

Fun fact: Düsseldorf itself has a suspension railway at the airport. As well as Dortmund at it's university. You could say that the Rhine-Ruhr area is the main region for suspension railways :)

The Wupper seems to offer significant head. If someone were to put a weir upstream and run the water into a long penstock, they could harvest a bit of power from it.

8‘54‘‘ It‘s not Locher Brücke it‘s Loher Brücke (it‘s correct at 53‘40‘‘) But to be honest: I watched so many drives with the Schwebebahn and this is one of the best. Filmed in wide angle with descriptions of what to see right and left. THX for having me on the trip 🚟👍

Fantastishe Perspektive, ein Highlight von Rail Relaxation. Aber ich ich glaube, heute dürfte man eine solche Bahn nicht mehr bauen. 😊👍💯🙋‍♂

Stimmt nicht ganz, in Siegen hat man überlegt so eine Strecke zu bauen, die Topographie ist ähnlich Wuppertal. Wurde zu den Akten gelegt.

@@gerdvomhau4499 Ich denke, hätte Siegen dem Bau zugestimmt, würden einige Naturschutzverbände auf die Barrikaden gehen. Die Wuppertaler Schwebebahn ist spektakulär, ein Industriedenkmal, aber schön ist sie nicht. VG

@josefh. Thank you. There is a Shonan Monorail in Japan, a sister suspension railway, that was built not so long ago.

The system is almost unique because it essentially followed the course of the Wupper River through town.

@RailRelaxation 2 ай бұрын

@Sacto1654 Yes, it is amazing. If you think that it is more thank a hundred years and still looks futuristic.

@RunVirtual5 Realmente. Foi construído mais que cem anos atráz e ainda parece futurístico. Imagina como futurístico foi a mente dos engenheiros da época.

A most remarkable engineering achievement, especially in 1898 (!). It was invented by Eugen Langen. See more in Wikipedia. Also a great video! Thanks RR. Added to Long Cab Rides playlist.
