Schwebebahn 
Description
The symbol of the city, hanging high above the Wupper River the Schwebebahn is the city's unique solution to rapid transit in a steeply sided valley. The cars of this train run on steel wheels on steel rails, but rather than having the rails on the ground, the wheels on top and the carriage on top of that instead the wheels run on a rail on top of the continuous viaduct, with the carriages hanging below the wheels. It's a novel solution to the problem of getting lots of people along a very long but very thin city, making use of the unused space above the river that the city takes it's name from. You can even sit at the back of the cars for views out the back of the train.
