When I first saw this thing while riding my bike by that river, it seemed like the most grotesque industrial thing you could ruin a nice river with.

But I know, people on here like trains (lol), so I'll probably get down voted for stating my opinion.



There are tons of public projects that faced fierce opposition because of the ugliness, that would now face fierce defense because of the heritage.

And it's a better fate for the river than the concrete tubes many get stuck in.

You might consider it an eyesore, but the river is hardly ruined by it.


You can have both. Enjoy the weird-looking train when you're in Wuppertal, then be thankful that you have an awesome river back home like in Munich.
