Light Rail Vehicles - LRT, ICTS, Monorail, and more

[chutten]

I think those are actually "Amazing Places" instead of "Things You Might Not Know". But still Tom Scott. You should also see the one about the Wuppertal Monorail, which has probably been linked somewhere around here.

Seeing the Falkirk Wheel reminds me of the Kirkfield lift lock here in Ontario. Not quite as wheel-like, but still amazing to see in operation. I gather that there is one in Peterborough as well, but I haven't been there.

Duh, of course. Amazing Places.

Along the same lines as the lift locks, at Honey Harbour (north of Barrie) there's the Big Chute Marine Railway. In the summer it cycles constantly up and down quite imposingly. A pity they took out the Visitor's Centre. But the original railway's still in place, too, for contrast, and plenty of historical plaques.
