Merge Proposal[edit]

I don't think there's enough information specific to the railway, which is, after all, the only major one built on the Lartigue principle, to justify its own article. Tevildo 19:52, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suspended and Trench railways[edit]

There are a number of situations were rails at the bottom are inappropriate and suspention from rails at the top makes more sense. These might include:

Trench railways for military use.
rails in meatworks, when hanging from the top keeps the meat off the dirty floor.
Wuppertal Schwebebahn which follows a river.
H-Bahn or hanging railway in Dortmund and Düsseldorf.
A lumber (monorail) railway which uses its crane to harvest logs as well built and remove tracks.
Palmer's horse-drawn hanging railway of 1825.

OK, these are not all hanging railways or even monorails, but perhaps they could all be combined as "Unusual Railways". Tabletop (talk) 07:03, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
