The Wuppertal Schwebebahn Railway is the oldest electric elevated railway in the world and is still in use today as a means of local public transport.

That system solves a lot of land use/availability problems.  How is it powered?  I like it.

It's electric.

I actually wouldn't mind taking a ride on that train. Just look at those support columns - it's not falling down anytime soon.
