In my recent travels i had the opportunity to go to the St. Louis arch. The arch it self was cool but the in side is a tram that takes you to the top. I was so fascinated by the tram that i only learned a little about the arch itself. Apparently not every one is as amazed about the tram as i was. there was very little information about the little ride to the top of the arch. I even spent extra money to see a documentary film the had playing there in hopes to learn more about the tram. They did not even mention it once. needless to say I was a little disappointed about that. I would have thought that something the would have had to been thought of while building the arch would have had quite an impact on how it was build. I found it very had to get alot of information about the tram.



This is one of the tram cars. it is set up in the lobby for people to look at. the tram ride started under the arch and went up and around to the top. The tram was like a mix between a roller coster (with out the going down really fast part) and a fairis wheel. As you probably know the arch is a curve, so as the tram went up for a while it would suddenly rotate back to vertical. it was very interesting.
