The Seattle Center Monorail glides on a single concrete beam thirty feet above the street, its twin trains painted in the bright red and blue livery of the nineteen sixty-two World's Fair. Built to shuttle fairgoers from downtown to the Century Twenty-One Exposition in just ninety seconds, it remains the only high-speed transit of its kind in the country. Alweg, the German company that constructed it, bet their technology on the line's success to prove the viability of elevated urban travel.
