YouTuber colourises Museum of Modern Art's 1902 film; leaves netizens astonished

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.

The colourised version of the 1902 film has gone viral on the internet with netizens raving about the video. "The @Moma released this haunting 1902 film of the Wuppertal Suspended Railway in Germany - but now it’s been colourised and upscaled to 4K and it is incredibly beautiful," (sic) said Tom Dunn, a social media user tagging the Museum of Modern Art's social media handle. Here's how the internet is reacting to the viral video. 

Fan reactions to the viral video: 

How I wish my mum was here to show this to, but sadly she died almost six months ago now. She was born in Wuppertal and I used to love my rides on the amazing Schwebebahn on my childhood holidays there 😀 So lovely to see this. Thanks for posting ❤️

Oh that’s lovely - I reckon they should do special days where it goes at roller coaster speed. Have you seen the Pina Bausch film, it makes an appearance.

Why do they say colourised and not coloured?

The section over the river through the arch of the viaduct is particularly breathtaking. Think that that a steampunk look would be entirely appropriate for a trip on the Wuppertal

@StuartHumphryes Beautiful. This guy restores old coloured pictures and home movies. Some dating over 100 years ago. Not colourised photos but early attempts to capture colour images. When I am sick of social media and the nastiness it contains I go there to see his images.
