1902 / 2019 Side by Side VID Wuppertal-Schwebebahn Suspension Railway (Olde Tech Survivor)

CNN (of all media outlets) actually also covered the Wuppertal-Schwebebahn Suspension Railway.

The German city with an incredible upside down railway

EXCERPT:

It all began in the 1880s, in the afterglow of imperial Germany's so-called Gründerzeit era of rapid industrial expansion. Entrepreneur and engineer Eugen Langen had been experimenting with a suspension railway for moving goods at his sugar factory in Cologne.

Meanwhile, the nearby city of Wuppertal had a problem. A booming local textile industry had seen the area grow from a small collection of settlements along the Wupper river to an urban sprawl of 40,000 inhabitants who now needed to get around.
Because the long and winding river valley made traditional rail or tramways impossible, city officials invited proposals to solve the problem -- and up popped Langen.

In 1893, he offered his suspension railway system to the city, which leapt at the proposal. Construction began in 1898 and the line was ceremoniously opened in 1901, with Emperor Wilhelm II taking a test ride with wife Auguste Viktoria.


In World War II, the network was badly hit by Allied bombs in heavy air raids on Wuppertal in May and June 1943, and again in January 1945, but by Easter 1946, not even a full year after fighting ended in Europe, the whole route was already back in action.
For Rosemarie Weingarten, who was born in Wuppertal's Barmen district in 1933, the Schwebebahn remains the cultural flagship of the city because of its endurance.

Another FREELY, unimpeded Olde World Tech designed, developed and in operation back when tPTB overlords were not putting the kibosh on independent innovation and advanced thought:

1896: Brighton and Rottingdean Seashore Electric Railway

Not too many people know about this odd electric train.

The Brighton and Rottingdean Seashore Electric Railway was a unique coastline railway in Brighton, England that ran through the shallow coastal waters of the English Channel between 1896 and 1901. (No, it didn't make any money BUT, the design and application proved that there independent energy & transportation innovations and tech back in the 1800s were all the rage (until tOverlords put a stop to it and buried it.)


?
This odd railway consisted of two parallel tracks,which were laid on concrete sleepers mortised into the bedrock.

The single car used on the railway was a 45 by 22 ft pier-like building which stood on four 23 ft -long legs. The car weighed 45 long tons. Propulsion was by electric motor.

It was officially named Pioneer, but many called it Daddy Long-Legs. Due to regulations then in place, a qualified sea captain was on board at all times, and the car was provided with lifeboats and other safety measures.

EXCERPT (on its demise)

ABANDONED

No longer required Pioneer was lashed to the pier at Ovingdean to await its fate. There was no rush to remove it and the car remained in situ gently rusting away until 1910 when the remnants of the railway were sold for scrap. Rails, poles, piers and Pioneer were dismantled and scrapped, much of it going to Germany where it was no doubt used in munitions and fired back at our troops four years later.

Today very little remains to remind us of this most valiant attempt. Concrete is a great survivor and some of the sleepers remain at Rottingdean to prove it was not all a dream!


NOTE* -- As we can see, the mid-late 1890s was a time of great innovation.

Unfortunately, WW1 and its aftermath washed away momentum for untold inventions, innovation and developing tech -- as well as helping facilitate the demolition of The Olde World (including ARCHITECTURE & ENERGY.)

The WW2 (Or World Reset PT 2) helped further demolish The Olde World, its History and memories.

And here's one more 19th century technological transportation advancement / innovation curiosity and more proof that there were technologies far superior to the time when they were introduced.

The pneumatic tube saga of the 19th century is what we know today as the Hyperloop. It was used in New York (Beach Pneumatic Transit) in 1867, but also in London UK (as the Crystal Palace pneumatic railway) in 1864 (!) and in a few other places even prior to the mentioned dates.

So...WHO really built this stuff? WHO designed it?? AND WHEN?? By what means of technology during a time of Horse & Buggy, shovels and "slaves"??

WHAAA??!?

MORE COOL PHOTOS (and historical context)

Here we are, 150 years later, and still not smart enough to implement this technology in the 21st century. All projects were shut down for various financial reasons, and lack of political backing at the time.

THEORY: There was a total RESET some time between the mid 1700s-1900.

The brightest minds of the 19th century tried to re-launch a previous highly technology advanced civilization which survived the calamity and collapse of the previous civilization.

You can argue all you want otherwise, but the riveting obvious evidence suggest the PAST degree of whatever civilization / architecture / technology / infrastructure was already in place (again -- *before* whatever yet unrevealed calamity totally disrupted the world.) It was actually comparable to our level of technical development -- and in many ways even far superior to ours...

So what happened to all these rediscoveries and tech innovations??

WW1. WW2. The Rockefellers. The Top Hats you see in olde photos. tPTB "Secret Societies"; Reasons/Excuses for demolishing the past evidence. Reasons/Excuses for restricting free movements, pioneers and exploration (*cough* National Parks creation and Antarctica.)

The Winners of the post World Calamity (apparently, the British) would go forth to write a whole new "History" -- because as we all know, THE WINNERS GET TO WRITE HISTORY.
