May require additional engineering and such to both beam structures and monorail trains, but perhaps a ‘cross country’ monorail connection to a future Orlando Briteline rail extension might be possible.
That would be an ‘iconic’ Disney cross-country experience befitting his dream of a ‘real world’ fast and efficient monorail based transportation system.
These monorail trains would need to be longer and travel much faster than existing ones.
Twin beams sharing a common pylon, similar to those in Seattle, might be a way to go in order to minimize construction costs.
A short section of ‘twin beam’ somewhere along the route might provide a way for opposing trains to pass one another.
Beam construction would probably need additional engineering to make for a smoother ride at the higher speed.
Thinking a monorail route may be cheaper and easier to build straight across wetlands than ‘traditional’ rail.
Perhaps much less impact to the environment as well.
These trains would offer an unobstructed view of Florida landscape.
That can is either a mock up, or a previous generation cab. It is not from a current generation train. If you can even call the current generation current. They have been in use for something like thirty years. Mouse house has to make their own replacement parts for them now. They never leave the property, not for any reason. Every repair is done in the train barn. There is nowhere to send anything. Nowhere else has any experience, expertise, or parts for them.
There was a monorail on the beach/partially in the ocean at Wildwood NJ that opened in 1969! Of COURSE it’s long gone.
The ’64-’65 NY World’s Fair also had a monorail, but it was suspended from a rail ABOVE it. Of course IT’S gone too. You can see a similar monorail in the 1966 movie “Farenheit 451”.

I did not fall off the rail!!!

Your name isn’t “monorail” either

Clearly you have not heard about the 1990 Mouse-o-rail tour around the United States…
Jon
it was moved to marriot world center for the TASTE event where they had a monorail inside the convention for california grill vendor stand.

The monorail didn’t fall off the rail. Why say that?
