Museum of Modern Art, New York, a few weeks ago, released a short video of Wuppertal's suspended railway online. The 120 seconds video, titled The Flying Train, takes the audience on a haunting ride in the suspended railway car. The video, captured during 1902, was recorded on Biograph’s proprietary 68mm stock, which made the visuals of the video quite appealing.

The video of the suspended railway has gone viral, with more than 6 lakh views. The Museum of Modern Art's video caught the attention of a Youtuber who upscaled the video's quality. The video is colourised by popular Youtuber Denis Shiryaev, who has upscaled many old and vintage videos for his channel. He colourised the 1902 video and changed the resolution to 4K.
