The Seattle Monorail is a wonderful piece of history still gliding above the streets of Seattle! This is the first ALWEG Monorail built in the United States!

The first test track for ALWEG was located in Cologne/Germany in the early 50's until 1967. Nothing remains. It runs just 10 miles from my todays home . ALWEG stands for its inventor "AL-fred WE-nner-G-ren, a businessman from Sweden!

They originally wanted five lines as an extension, the first having 17 stations. It wasn't bad thinking it was shitty bureaucracy. This stretch is an icon and something for tourists to get from a downtown shopping center to the Space Needle and Museums.

America should have these high speed monorails all over the country in all the cities the same way Eisenhower did with the freeways back in the 1950's. Imagine how many people we can employ building a trans national monorail system. Automation can build these trans national monorail infrastructure a lot faster and more efficiently. Just an idea.

@Luke_Starkenburg

ErebosSan yes, you are correct. And it was a bad design choice because a few years ago, two trains tried to occupy the station at the same time and side swiped each other! You can look up pictures of this accident easily. When the monorail was first built, there was a Station by the Westlake Mall, but when a skyscraper was to be built there, they pinched the tracks and put them on the side of the mall.
@perrywales
@perrywales 6 жыл бұрын
In this pic you can see the original Downtown station. Where the triangular buildings are is now a highrise office tower and mall and outdoor plaza. To fit the trains into the space, they did pinch the lines together, you can see the ramp extensions that reach out over the inner track to get to the Red train in the video. A inexperienced operator ignored signals to stop and they did crash into each other once. Now there is Active Train Control to avoid another mishap. c4.staticflickr.com/4/3152/3012653535_85e2a0292d_b.jpg
