The monorail that wasn't

Here's an artist's rendition of a monorail station that was planned for the 1964-65 New York World's Fair but never built.



Sharp-eyed readers may note that the monorail cars sat above the beam and not below it like the AMF system that was actually at the Fair. That's because this version was proposed by Disney as a permanent system to run through the park once the Fair was over.

You can read more about it and download a copy of the Disney proposal document on my website at http://www.worldsfairphotos.com/nywf64/disneyland-alweg.htm
