Monorail
A monorail is a Rail transport, railway in which the track consists of a single rail or beam. Colloquially, the term "monorail" is often used to describe any form of elevated rail or people mover. More accurately, the term refers to the style of Track (rail transport), track.The term "track" is used here for simplicity. Technically the monorail sits on or is suspended from a guideway containing a singular structure. There is an additional generally accepted rule that the support for the car must be narrower than the car. Monorail systems are most frequently implemented in large cities, airports, and theme parks. Etymology The term possibly originated in 1897 from German engineer Eugen Langen, who called an elevated railway system with wagons suspended the ''Wuppertal Schwebebahn, Eugen Langen One-railed Suspension Tramway'' (Einschieniges Hängebahnsystem Eugen Langen). Differentiation from other transport systems Monorails have found applications in airport transfers and med ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Railway Lines Opened In 2014
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport using wheeled vehicles running in tracks, which usually consist of two parallel steel rails. Rail transport is one of the two primary means of land transport, next to road transport. It is used for about 8% of passenger and freight transport globally, thanks to its energy efficiency and potentially high speed.Rolling stock on rails generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, allowing rail cars to be coupled into longer trains. Power is usually provided by diesel or electric locomotives. While railway transport is capital-intensive and less flexible than road transport, it can carry heavy loads of passengers and cargo with greater energy efficiency and safety. Precursors of railways driven by human or animal power have existed since antiquity, but modern rail transport began with the invention of the steam locomotive in the United Kingdom at the beginning of the 19th c ...

List Of Monorail Systems
A monorail is a railway system in which the track consists of a single elevated rail, beam or track with the trains either supported or suspended. The term is also used to describe the beam of the system, or the vehicles traveling on such a beam or track. Many monorail systems run through crowded areas that would otherwise require expensive tunneling or dangerous level crossings. Aside from mass transit and people mover systems, a large number of smaller monorails have been built in amusement parks and at zoos. Operational monorails These are lists of operating monorails that are open to the public. Only true monorails (vehicle wider than track) are included; see people mover for a list of monorail-like systems. There are also other monorail type systems used for human transportation not included, such as slope cars, mining monorails and farm monorails.

Hospital Cidade Tiradentes (São Paulo Metro)
A hospital is a healthcare institution providing patient treatment with specialized health science and auxiliary healthcare staff and medical equipment. The best-known type of hospital is the general hospital, which typically has an emergency department to treat urgent health problems ranging from fire and accident victims to a sudden illness. A district hospital typically is the major health care facility in its region, with many beds for intensive care and additional beds for patients who need long-term care. Specialized hospitals include trauma centers, rehabilitation hospitals, children's hospitals, geriatric hospitals, and hospitals for specific medical needs, such as psychiatric hospitals for psychiatric treatment and other disease-specific categories. Specialized hospitals can help reduce health care costs compared to general hospitals. Hospitals are classified as general, specialty, or government depending on the sources of income received.

Ipiranga (CPTM)
Ipiranga is a train station on CPTM Line 10-Turquoise, located in the city of São Paulo. The station is located on the west side of Vila Prudente district. History Ipiranga station opened on 1 April 1886, to serve as a support structure to the project for the Ipiranga Museum. It was built between 1885 and 1890. After World War II, an industrial boom in the surrounding region increased the station's use. This industrial movement reached its highest point in the 1950s, with the arrival of the Ford Motor Co. factory in 1953, which rerouted railroads to reach its installations. From the 1950s, thousands of workers used this station as their daily transport. Estrada de Ferro Santos-Jundiaí set plans for construction of a new building to open in mid-1960. With the beginning of de-industrialization, Ipiranga station lost its importance as the old industries gave place to empty warehouses. This migration movement of industrial plants to other locations also reached the Ford factor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
