Night Cab Ride Schwebebahn Suspension Railway - Wuppertal (Germany) driver's view in 4K

In this video you can enjoy the night cab ride - train driver's view on the famous and unique Wuppertal Suspension Railway (Schwebebahn) between the final stations of Oberbarmen BF station, Vohwinkel station and back in 4K/30 frames per second.
This journey leads us along the unique German Wuppertal Suspension Railway (Wuppertaler Schwebebahn). The line was originally called Eugen Langen Monorail Overhead Conveyor System, named for its inventor, Eugen Langen. It is the oldest electric elevated railway with hanging cars in the world and is a unique system in Germany. Construction of this suspension railway began in 1898 and the line was ceremoniously opened in 1901, with Emperor Wilhelm II taking a test ride with wife Auguste Viktoria.
The Schwebebahn runs along a route of 13.3 kilometres (8.3 mi), at a height of about 12 metres (39 ft) above the river Wupper between Oberbarmen and Sonnborner Straße (10 kilometres or 6.2 miles) and about 8 metres (26 ft) above the valley road between Sonnborner Straße and Vohwinkel (3.3 kilometres or 2.1 miles). Only four of the 20 stops run above solid ground. The entire trip takes about 30 minutes. More than 80,000 people use the suspension monorail on a daily basis.
In 2015 the first of 31 new vehicles Generation 15 or GTW 15 trains were introduced. Through the use of three-phase asynchronous motors, this is the first time that the possibility of energy recovery during braking has been exploited. The operating voltage has been increased from 600 to 750 volts. In terms of safety, an entirely new train safety system ETCS has been installed.
Wuppertal Schwebebahn has a sister suspension railway relationships with Shonan Monorail since 2018. Shonan Monorail is a suspension railway located in Kanagawa, Japan and connects the cities between Kamakura and Fujisawa.

I like the mysterious atmosphere when floating over the river.

I have seen many videos of this route, but all in daylight. What a treat to see it at night! Thank You!

[@RunVirtual5]

The night ride was truly enchanting. Your videos typically don't showcase this perspective, making the night ride all the more captivating and unique.

[@RailRelaxation]

@RunVirtual5 It is quite different, I agree. I think that it is so different from the ride during the day.

I should have taken the opportunity to ride in this Wuppertal Schwebebahn when I visited Germany several times. But now I am too old and do not have the opportunity anymore.. I have been to Germany, Switzerland , Austria,, France, Italy, Netherland, UK and Finland. I missed all these places.

[@RailRelaxation]

@TheUluxian I would like to ride the Seattle monorail one day. This Wuppertaler Schwebebahn is realy great. Definitely something different.

[@wandajackson3410]

Even though I live in Germany, I've never visited this great suspension railway in Wuppertal - I've clearly missed something! Great pictures during the night journey, these lighting atmospheres at the entrances to stops, an often glittering reflection on the surface of the Wupper River - a night journey through an illuminated city naturally offers much more variety than a night journey on a railway train that is only illuminated every now and then Places and train stations touched... It was worth installing the Go Pro on the outside: the image quality is simply fantastic without any annoying or dirty driver's cab windows 👍 🤔🤔 I'm not sure, but before the return journey from the depot in Oberbarmen to Vohwinkel, a nice gentleman stood at the end of the platform and waved friendly at the camera... Since no one had to be behind the camera because it was filming from outside, this nice scene could have shown us the filmmaker himself... 😉😄 But it's all pure speculation 🙄 Many greetings 🖖

[@jamesrea329]

I wouldn’t have guessed a night video of this ride would be so great. If I ever travel to Europe I’m going to try to make sure Wuppertal is on the itinerary. Could be done as a day trip from Amsterdam I think? It’s a long way from California though.

[@RailRelaxation]

@jamesrea329 it is a long way from California, yes. But it is so unique, that it is worth a trip...you can get from Amsterdam to Wuppertal in a bit more than 3 hrs by train.

European Train Control System (ETCS) is the train protection. No light signalling.

Sieht natürlich so spektakulär aus... wenn man nicht fast täglich damit fährt ;) ABER Wie kommst du/ihr auf den schmalen Grad, dass das "Lokführer" sein sollen.
