Cool Vintage Monorail images

Gizmodo has a really cool "vintage monorail gallery".
.
And, yes, of course the Disneyland Monorail is there, but so are some others I hadn't see.
.
The one to the left here was from the 1964 World's Fair. It is totally cool.
.
There are some really really old ones (including a doulbe decker 1876 built for the nation's centenital) - and the oldest was a Irish one that looks silly.
.
But I really like the ones below.
.


They say that "teachnically" this "rail plane" isn't a monorail since there is a guiderail below. But it is too cool not to include.


This is an early Seattle demonstration rail. Cool, huh?
