Re: (rshsdepot) Sioux City Elevated Railway

["Paul Luchter" <luckyshow_@_mindspring.com>]

Monorails even if elevated I don't think qualify as an elevated railroad, do
they?

Parts of the Keyes System was elevated in the East Bay, at least in Oakland
(as was the SP that stopped at Oakland 33rd Street and then went to the
bridge, at least that part was...was there an elevated part of the Pacific
Electric Big Red cars in LA area?

Hoboken, Jersey City and Newark all had elevated parts of the  streetcar
system...(If we are including Seattle then these have to be included...but
really is a steetcar El an Le? (Boston orange and green lines were
streetcars and considered Els, right? The portion just removed was built for
streetcars in fact..

The article said it was the third elevated railroad in the world. I presume
New York and Brooklyn are the other two....did London have an elevated?
Toronto?
