message: "The people of Wuppertal know it, however, as the “Old Lady” ("Alte Dame") or the “Steel Dragon” (“Der stählerne Drache”)."
Where does this come from? It's not mentioned in the german article, and one Wuppertal woman I asked, had never heard of these names.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.47.48.249 (talk) 16:56, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  route map 

message: In the article, it says that the characters in the movie Alice in den Stadten "use images of the Schwebebahn" - but they aren't really "using images", they are riding the Schwebebahn.  The film shows the train leaving one of the terminus stations, travelling over the river, and shows the characters riding inside the train.  The film has an interesting shot from inside showing the train leaving the station, and an incredible screeching sound as the train is going around a curved section of track.

message: According to an 1894 memorandum from the factory of Eugen Langen, I found on the internet, the official name at that time was Anlage einer elektrischen Hochbahn (Schwebebahn), System Eugen Langen Köln
translated literally
Electrical Highway(meaning elevated railway-railroad) Installation (Floating Tram), System Eugen Langen Cologne. to be found in the collection of the AG Sammlung Deutsche Drucke.
No sources are mentioned for the official name as written in the article. A reference to the German Article isn't that valuable because the German article is lacking sources as well.
Can somebody explain or add sources? Wenn not, I will change the official naming.

The naming convention is important.  If this is, broadly, an elevated railway, it can not claim to be the oldest elevated railwoway in use.  the Chicago Loop is older.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.14.180.227 (talk) 17:32, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe this is both original research and simply a misunderstanding of the linked document. That talks about “Construction of a …”, German “Anlage einer …”, which of course doesn’t mean that the name of the railway includes “Anlage …”. I can’t find the linked document anyway, and it should be “…betreffend der Anlage…” (Genitive case), which makes the reference even less trustworthy. I’ve boldly edited to the official name from DE. Revert me and engage here if you know more. Thore Husfeldt (talk) 11:33, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

message: "Tuffi, meaning 'waterdive' in Italian" - the theory that the elephant was named in Italian after the jump is not supported in the English or German "Tuffi" entry in Wikipedia. They both seem to imply the name was there before. I would say this is a hoax. Tuffi is simply a typical German baby slang word, similar to Bambi or Zotti or so.146.227.239.13 (talk) 17:19, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

message: The translation of "Einschienige Hängebahn System Eugen Langen" with "Eugen Langen Monorail Overhead Conveyor System" seems weird to me (native German speaker). The German term, as I understand it, means roughly "Single-Rail Hanging Railway according to the System of Eugen Langen" with the verb, prepositions and articles omitted. Especially the "conveyor system" seems off, because it implies to me that the train is propelled by elements in the guideway (instead of an on-board motor), which is not the case, and this implication is not present in the German term. I would prefer a translation like "Eugen Langen Hanging Monorail System".
Is there any source for the English term, preferably from the time the Schwebebahn was designed or opened (the German term sounds somewhat archaic today, so if the English term is archaic as well, it might explain my problems with it) Thomas5388 (talk) 13:06, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
