Train entering turning loop in depot building

Oberbarmen is the name of the eastern terminal of the Wuppertal Schwebebahn and located in Wuppertal Barmen.[1] The terminal consists of two buildings, the station proper and the depot with the loop for the train to turn around. The depot holds trains during the night. The buildings are suspended above the Wupper and separated by a bridge, the Wupperbrücke Berliner Platz. The main works for maintenance and repair are at the Vohwinkel Schwebebahn terminal.[1]
