Location

Along the route of the Wuppertal Schwebebahn.

That is, on the Wupper river in Wuppertal. Between the Pestalozzistraße and Westende stations, near a pipeline crossing the river and even closer to a track support.

Google's imagery shows the tracks crossing the point, but it's clearly taken from a southward angle. OSM and Bing imagery show the tracks a few meters south of the point.

shotgun shows only one other point along the Schwebebahn route: 1957-02-13 is only about 150m upstream from this one.

I already wanted to visit Wuppertal and ride the Schwebebahn sometime this week. So I'll go do that, ride on the north side, and hope to get close enough.

I have no internet on the run and cannot communicate though. But I hope I am at the Vohwinkel station at 11:00. On the platform for arriving Schwebebahnen.

OK, I will try to catch the RB train that arrives shortly after 10:30, then either walk from the Vohwinkel rail station or take Schwebebahn back from the Hbf. But I may be 30 minutes later than that. Coyotebush (talk) 05:55, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
