It's funny that nobody ever comments on how utterly ugly the Wuppertal line is. There's a typical lovely European city there if you look closely beneath the web of girders. 10/10 for maximum streetscape impact. It seems, in Wuppertal, that the RAF failed to make its usual contribution to urban renewal in Germany.

This is a digitally remastered cab ride on Wuppertal's suspended monorail when new. Spectacular.
