Ivan Elmanov

During 1820, in Myachkovo, near Moscow, he built a type of monorail described as a road on pillars.

[1] The single rail was made of timber balks resting above the pillars.

The wheels were set on this wooden rail, while the horse-drawn carriage had a sled on its top.

[1] This construction is considered to be the first known monorail in the world.
