Monorail system in Japan can switch its rails amazingly fast
A monorail is just like any railway – except for that it uses just one rail instead of a pair of rails. Monorail trains started production at the beginning of the 20th century. The earliest monorail trains were stabilized by a gyroscope. With this new innovation, the inventor wanted to establish a high speed rail system across all of Europe.
Modern monorails in Japan can switch tracks quite efficiently meanwhile. Thus, monorails in Japan can operate with a usual layout of the tracks without any special concern for avoiding the switching from one rail to another.
