I've seen a lot of these movies taken from the front of a moving train. They're so common that there's a term for them: "Phantom Train Rides." Although they are esteemed by railroad buffs, I find them much of a piece. Here comes a train along the track, passing by a bit of landscape and some people, several of whom are working, but several of whom are standing around for no reason at all. We're going through a station. We're passing by more landscape and people. We're going through another station.
I can't tell them apart, and so they bore me. This one is a bit different. It's a monorail, for one thing, so you're looking down, and you're looking at a town. Also, you get to see how the rail is placed, buttressed to the stone embankments of the river. It's not much of a difference, but it's more than you get in any of the others.
