Wuppertal, Germany/

The first test drive of the new monorail
Wuppertal . On Monday it was so far : Shortly before midnight, a car of the new generation monorail left the first time the vehicle depot Wuppertaler Stadtwerke to the first test drive . The WZ was live performances and displays the test drive of Vohwinkel until Hammerstein in the motion picture . The test drive seems to be running smoothly . But until all Wuppertal and their guests can float with the new car by 's Valley , is still a little bit of patience in demand.

Over 100 year-old suspended monorail gets facelift
If you love riding trains, you've got to ride this one before you die: It's the world's only mass-transit rail system which has its wheels on the roof and a yawning gulf under the floor.

The writer is in error about "the world's only mass transit rail system which has its wheels on the roof."  Perfect example is Japan's Shonan monorail.
