Neural-network upscaled, 60 fps, stabilized and colorized version of 1902 footage of the Wuppertal Schwebebahn suspended railway in Germany. The source film comes from MoMA. It gives a vivid view of an early-1900s city and a train system that still runs.

HN commenters share it as a favorite example of upscaled vintage footage that makes the early 1900s feel present, though some find the colorization off.
