I have however seen a not dis-similar gantry structure used for a railway system in Germany, Wuppertal area IIRC and that was in the late 80s.

I think some 1950's footage of it, and the area, can be seen on the Glasgow Trams DVD.

I hope it stays that way though. Much rather that than more luxury flats
