This system has proven monorail switches reliable in over 30 years of daily operation. A single-line suspended monorail with dual direction service. Trains pass each other at stations where the track briefly splits, with switches based on the French Safege technology developed in the 1950's. Although the WDW system consists of three loops, without switches the system would be unable to operate. Trains access all loops via switches starting right from the twelve-train storage and maintenance facility.
Trains transfer from loop to loop depending on traffic demand.
The system carries hundreds of thousands of passengers each week. There are a number of switches on this Siemens-developed suspended monorail. Clever engineering allows for quick switching in these narrow beams. Another dual-beam Alweg system with lots of segmented switches. The world's only dual-beam Safege monorail.
