I myself have never been a fan of monorails. To me trains are supposed to run on two rails (or three if you're into toy trains). But I must admit that I do find some of the monorail steam trains interesting. (Yes, there is such a thing!) At the national railway museum of India in Delhi there is an operating steam train that uses one rail and has a large wheel coming out of the side that runs on a small cement "road" beside the track for balance. Go to www.e-z.net/~ddickens/monorail/ for more info. In an old 1930's issue of Popular Mechanics I have there is a small writeup with a picture of a steam monorail in Ireland. It's a very strange looking thing. The rail is suspended a few feet from the ground. The locomotive has two boilers side by side and the coaches are also divided in the middle. I don't imagine these were too successful. I wonder if there were any other steam monorails out there?
