Liverpool Overhead Railway
The Liverpool Overhead Railway was an overhead railway in Liverpool which operated along the Liverpool Docks and opened in 1893 with lightweight electric multiple units. It was the world's first electric elevated railway, the first to use automatic signalling and electric colour light signals,〔(''Liverpool Overhead Railway'' ) The Transport Trust〕 and was home to the first railway escalator. It was referred to locally as the Dockers' Umbrella. In the early 1900s electric trains ran on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway to Southport and Aintree; special trains to Aintree ran twice a year after these regular services were withdrawn. A local railway, it was not nationalised in 1948. In 1955, a report into the structure of the many viaducts showed major repairs were needed that the company could not afford. The railway closed at the end of 1956 and the structures were dismantled in the following year.
