Posted by WillD on Sun Jul 26 02:06:36 2009, in response to Photos: Light rail in Japan, posted by Deaks on Sat Jul 25 16:23:20 2009. Excellent photos. I always see so much on their mainline systems, but very little on their LRT networks.There is another suspended monorail in the Chiba portion of Tokyo (I think, I'm sure Wado can correct me on where exactly it is). Both are roughly based around the French Safege system and were built by Mitsubishi. They differ from the Wuppertal Schwebebahn in that they use rubber tires within the guideway as opposed to a steel wheel on a steel rail exposed to the elements. Of course most of the other Japanese monorails were based on the German Alweg system and were constructed by Hitachi. It's also worth mentioning that the Hiroshima Peace park was located below the hypocenter of the blast, the epicenter would be a point above the detonation. |
