Trailblazer (monorail)
Trailblazer was a suspended monorail that operated at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas from 1956 to 1964. It was the first commercially operated monorail system in the United States.〔"Dallas Content to Wait, Watch Seattle's Results," Dallas Morning News, 07-12-1959〕
==History==
Envisioned as a demonstration project for transit solutions, Monorail, Inc. erected a short test system in Houston's Arrowhead Park as the Skyway Line in 1956. During the year, the company contracted with the State Fair of Texas for an expanded project at Fair Park in Dallas. Originally envisioned to be 4,000 feet long with terminals at the Automobile Building and Pennsylvania Avenue (with a midway station at Cotton Bowl Plaza), the line was later reduced to 1,600 feet terminating at the Cotton Bowl. It was completely funded and constructed by Monorail, Inc and operated as a fairgrounds concession by Texas Skyways, Inc — making it the nation's first commercial operating monorail line 〔"Board OK's Monorail as Fair Exhibit," The Dallas Morning News, 07-27-1956〕 Most of the materials (including the vehicle) were repurposed from the Houston test project. It opened with a fare of 25 cents in time for the 1956 State Fair of Texas, and became a top visitor attraction.〔"Park Board Agrees to Monorail Plans," The Dallas Morning News, 08-14-1956〕
It also made an appearance in the 1962 musical film ''State Fair'', which was filmed in Fair Park.〔("Monorails on Film and TV" ), Kim Pedersen〕
