ABSTRACT:
A suspended railway has a fixed tower spaced horizontally from a fixed station. A suspension cable is slung between this tower and the station and a plurality of horizontally spaced upright hangers depending from this cable support a suspended section of a horizontally extending track also having a fixed section secured in the station. As a car travels along the track it vertically deflects the track from an upper unloaded position to a lower loaded position. A substantially rigid guide beam projects from the station between the track and the cable toward the tower and has a lower guide surface bearing downwardly on the track in the unloaded position thereof. Thus as the car approaches the fixed section of the track at the station the suspended section is pulled downwardly away from the guide beam.
