   Köln Hauptbahnhof is quite pretty at too-damn-early o’clock.

     Vohwinkel has a couple of things of interest. A park close to the station has some bits and bobs of Schwebebahn on display.

     The Schwebebahn runs every 3 minutes, so no need to go back and forth repeatedly if I want to visit all 20 stations. So first, let’s go to one end of the line, Vohwinkel.

     It’s a lovely day for riding monorails, but I’m hungry, so I will pause briefly in Backwerk.

     Quietly thinking about the amazing mobility trains have given us.

     We start in the section over the road. Bruch has some lovely Art Nouveau houses and a couple of supermarkets.

     The other exciting thing here is trolley buses. I haven’t got a decent photo though. So let’s go to the next station.Vohwinkel - tick!

     Zoo/Stadion is where you get off if you want to see the mighty S.V. Wuppertal. It’s also where the line curves to go over the river instead of the street, and where the railway crosses over.

     Sonnborner Straße station building is pretty much identical to Hammerstein. The houses are older, and there’s diverse retail at ground level.

     Hammerstein is not an industrial band, but a mostly residential area with houses from Fachwerk to not-yet-finished.

     There is a huge gap in the trains in the other direction. Which will be my direction soon enough.
