		The Alweg serves as a link between Seattle Center and the Metro bus tunnel, and will help the Green Line deliver the surge capacity that is needed during Bumbershoot and Sonics games.

		Alweg's technology has endured through the decades, living long after the company itself, and is alive in monorails such as those at Disneyland, Japan and the Las Vegas Monorail, and just about every major monorail system in the world.
		Although the Alweg Company, builder of Seattle's 1962 monorail, ceased to exist in the early 1970s, its monorail concept is still successful today and of course the Seattle Center Monorail is the last original Alweg left, demonstrating the viability of the Alweg vision.

		Disney convinced Alweg to sell him the monorails and they were built in Burbank, CA.

	HistoryLink Essay: Seattle Center Monorail -- History Worth Saving
		Articulation is the ability of the bogey assembly to caster freely under the car body, allowing the guide tires to "steer" the bogey through the curves of the guide-way, keeping the load carrying tires in perfect alignment with the guide-way's direction of travel.
		The earlier ALWEG design that was provided to Hitachi in 1960 did not incorporate these features, and they were not incorporated in the monorail trains produced by Hitachi during the 1960s.
		The net result is that, even after 41 years in service, the Seattle ALWEG monorail trains still feature the most technologically advanced monorail bogey design operating anywhere in the world today.

	NCL and Monorails in LA (Was:Re: Monorail On Second Ave ?)
		Alweg, the maker of the 1962 Worlds Fair monorail in Seattle, proposed monorail systems in both Los Angeles and Seattle, as well as potential plans for systems in Dallas, Atlanta, and Phoenix.
		Sadly both systems were shot down, but the Los Angeles system made it closest to becoming a reality, as is chronicled in an article on Monorails.org.
		In what would likely have been one of the first Turn-Key transit systems, Alweg would have designed, built and then turned over a fully operational 43 mile long monorail rapid transit system for the city, with 105 million dollar construction cost to be repaid out of the profits made in running the system.

		The Alweg Company, founded in Cologne in 1951, publicly introduced its monorail concept on its test-site in Cologne-Fuehlingen for the first time in 1952.
		So Alweg reference lines were built in 1961 in Turin, Italy, and in 1962 in Seattle, USA (where one of its two trains reached its one millionth mile on March 12th of this year and where the plans for a city-wide monorail system are progressing fast).
		As a consequence Alweg reference lines were not built in Alweg's home-country, but in places where one wanted to see how an innovative future could be shaped.

		More than 40 years ago, in 1963, I attended a meeting of the L.A. County Board of Supervisors at which the Alweg Monorail company outlined a plan to construct one or more monorails crossing L.A. north, south, east and west.
		The company said that if it were allowed to build the system, it would give the monorails to us for free — absolutely gratis.
		I took the microphone and said, "To paraphrase Winston Churchill, rarely have so many owed so little to so few." I was conducted out of the meeting.
