What a good idea: put the rail over the train instead of under it. From Wiki "The Shonan Monorail is a suspended SAFEGE monorail in the cities of Kamakura and Fujisawa in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan." The technology used here was developed in France in the 1950s. Here's a video of a ride on the Shonan line.
