Steampunk was real



New York's Museum of Modern Art has the most fascinating collection of film, art, flotsam and jetsam on YouTube.

Here, a two-minute ride on the Wuppertal Suspension Railway, shot in 1902. The town's railway still carries millions of passengers a year along 13 km of track in Germany.

This piece of film is 120 years old. 

It's the IMAX of a century ago.

Eye test: spot the chicken, the kid on the swing. 

But no barriers at the end of station platforms? Yikes!
