The Monorail Society

The Seattle Alweg Monorail, an icon of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, was the world's first full-sized Alweg monorail system to operate down the center of an urban street. During the Fair, it carried about eight million passengers and was considered the gateway to the Fair. It is currently owned by the City of Seattle and operated by Seattle Monorail Services. Seattle's pioneer monorail inspired the creation of many monorails worldwide, and fifty years after its debut, more Alweg-type monorails were being planned and built.
