It looks like it should be a ride in the Jules Verne-style Tomorrowland at Disneyland Paris.

There is footage of the first electric elevated railway (not the first suspended) filmed by the Lumière Brothers in 1896, but sadly the Dockers’ Umbrella (as it was known locally) got dismantled in the 1950s.
All that’s left of it now is the odd girder and a tunnel.
