Monorail 'car barn'

My studies today took me into a part of Chiba that I've meant to visit for a while. Down a small valley near the zoo there's a short branch of the city monorail system. The track leads to the car barn and maintenance depot.

As you can see the cars are docked on two levels with three reception tracks on each. Trains on the lower level are berthed just a couple of feet above the ground.

In the time I've been studying Chiba I've come to really like this extensive monorail system, which is soon to be extended for a further mile. It is a great way to get around the north side of town and fast too - if you haven't had a ride on a monorail yet find one soon!
