Tony Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 "The Flying Train" depicts a ride on a suspended railway in Germany in 1902. The footage is almost as impressive as the feat of engineering it captures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffers Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Amazing. I guess they can put more weight on and less manpower than cable cars. Just looked it up and it's still going today apparently, carrying 80,000 passengers a day. According to Wikipedia: The current fleet consists of 31 articulated cars. The cars are 24 metres long and have 4 doors. One carriage can seat 48 with approximately 130 standing passengers. The top speed is 60 kilometres per hour (37 mph) and the average speed is 27 km/h (17 mph). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
