EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the annals of transportation history, we witness a visionary solution to the inner-city traffic problem as proposed by the forward-thinking engineer, Fletcher Felts, in 1923. The photograph, taken from an unknown source and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, presents a captivating glimpse into the future as imagined by Felts. The image showcases a torpedo-shaped monorail car, poised to revolutionize urban mobility and alleviate the burdens of congested roads. With monorails whizzing overhead, the jammed cars below appear as relics of a bygone era, left in the dust of progress. The sleek, streamlined monorail car glides smoothly past our windows, its futuristic design a stark contrast to the static, hulking automobiles below. Felts, a pioneer in transportation innovation, believed that monorails offered a practical and efficient solution to the growing problem of urban traffic. His project, although not yet realized in this photograph, promised to transport passengers swiftly and seamlessly over congested city streets. The monorail system, with its minimal ground disruption and ability to navigate tight spaces, held the potential to transform the way cities moved and functioned. As we gaze at this historical image, we are reminded of the power of human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of progress. The torpedo car and its monorail system represent a fascinating chapter in transportation history, a testament to the bold ideas and dreams of visionaries like Fletcher Felts. This photograph not only transports us back in time but also offers a tantalizing glimpse into the future, a future where innovation and progress continue to shape the way we travel and live.
