@@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.

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.

I well recall in 1950 on a train from the Hook of Holland to Iserlohn whilst In thee British Army when I saw this overhead gantry suspended train over a river in Wuppertal which did surprise me being unlike anything I have ever seen before. But if my memory serves me right the train was colour red and more futuristic than current being torpedo shape.

@RailRelaxation

@Peter-lm3ic They changed all the trains for the newer models, before they were more colourful.

I first saw this in a book in the early 50’s with the Wuppertal trams running underneath. When I finally got to ride it in the 1990’s it was one big tick on my bucket list. Since then I have ridden on it many times. There is a cracking brauhause at the eastern end! There is a short line in Dresden but it is in the form of a funicular. Great video, but pity that you didn’t get a ride round the loop at the ends.
