  • Bill Humphreys, 65, above and below, calls the monorail “a bus and a train combined.” It’s powered by electricity, but it runs on 64 tires. Sixteen tractor-trailer size “load tires” go on top of the rail and 24 run sideways on each side, guiding the trains along the track. Humphreys, a native of Texas, said he’s worked for the monorail for 12 years.
