The Lartigue monorail in Listowel, Ireland, is different from other monorails that I've seen 😀
‘The Lartigue Monorail system was developed by the French engineer Charles Lartigue (1834–1907). He further developed a horse drawn monorail system, which had been invented by Henry Robinson Palmer in 1821…. Instead of the conventional two parallel rails on the ground, it had a single rail sitting above the sand and held at waist height on A-shaped trestles. The carriages sat astride the trestles like panniers.’
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lartigue_Monorail‘The Listowel-Ballybunion Railway was opened in 1888 at a cost of £30,000 and it ran for 36 years until it was closed in 1924. The train carried passengers, freight, cattle and sand from the Ballybunion sand-hills. … The line was only barely financially viable for the whole of its existence; it is reputed never to have made a profit. The closure was hastened by the severe damage that was inflicted on the line during the civil war of 1921-23.
… The Railway has about 1000 metres of monorail track, three switches, two turntables and three platforms representing Listowel, Lisselton and Ballybunion. There is one engine, which is an exact reproduction of the original engines, save that the present engine (62 Loco No. 4 0-2-0) is diesel driven. There are two third class carriages, modeled as closely as possible on the originals, using photographs and the memory of those who traveled in them.’

San Francisco's T line at the 20th Street station. The “Raygun Gothic” aesthetic is used at several of the stations along 3rd street and south of Market, but IMHO is strongest here, the 23rd Street station, and the UCSF station.
When the Giants are playing well, this train is packed with happy post-game fans. When the Giants are getting their heads kicked in, the fans leave early and this train is empty.
