The World's Only Suspended Funicular Is Even Weirder Than You Think

You've heard of funiculars (I imagine). You've heard of suspended trains (I hope). But have you ever heard of combining the two? No? Me either until I laid eyes on the Dresden Schwebebahn, a suspended (i.e. "dangling") funicular on the outskirts of Dresden. A historic, unique but ultimately puzzling piece of 19th-Century infrastructure, this cable railway is the only one of its kind in the world. But with a costly, resource-intensive design, and an already-existing funicular literally 30 seconds down the road... why was it built? Let's see if we can find out. ***EDIT: I've been told by a couple of people that my intro/title is problematic for epilepsy sufferers. Apologies! I'm changing it for future videos.**** --------------------------- Welcome to What On Earth Is This?, a YouTube channel featuring strange and quirky things from around the world that you may not have heard of.
