Video editor Denis Shiryaev has remastered and colorized The Flying Train", amazing vintage footage shot in 1902 of a suspended railway in a German town, into a high definition version at 60 frames per second. Shiryaev achieved this through neural network learning, which smoothed out the rough edges.
Upscaled with neural network footage of Wuppertal Schwebebahn" shot in 1902. Btw, the train system hasnt changed much and still functional. The Schwebebahn" was built mostly over the river to save space. ...Contrary to the text at the beginning, the city Wuppertal" didn't yet exist in 1902. Back then, these were a handful of separate cities and towns called Elberfeld", Ronsdorf", Cronenberg", Vohwinkel" and Barmen". These cities were united in 1929 under the name Barmen-Elberfeld" and were renamed into Wuppertal" in 1930, according to the fact that the cities are located around the Wupper river.
Here's the original footage from the Museum of Modern Art.
