A short film from 1902 of a German suspended railway called the Wuppertal Schwebebahn, shot in 68 mm, colorized and upscaled in 4K.

It shows an unusual drone-like view of a German city at the beginning of the 20th century.

so incredible. it's funny that humans built such a thing

Wow! Thanks for the Wikipedia rabbit hole! Those Germans.

This is a great railway solution for Los Angeles. Saving billions from tunneling and forced eminent domain

Still running today

I can't tell if this is real or not

One of my ancestors, Eugen Langen, was the engineer of the "Schwebebahn".
