Going up the world's most unusual elevator @ The Gateway Arch St. Louis MO (Arch Tram)

[peyts05]

I went there

[Mhebner23]

Me and a couple of friends are going to St Louis on Jan 29th for WWE Royal Rumble. We're thinking about going up the Arch the next day. I hope we do go up it, I've always wanted to go up it.

Do those elevators hang from a cable, like a ski lift?

[FGelevators]

@nidokingthefirst they do towards the bottom area but then its on a track towards the top

[FGelevators]

@stevethemeave45 theres two trams in the arch. U probably were in the other tram going up

[FGelevators]

too bad ur making jacob and those two other people jealous that u got more leg room. lol

[stevethemeave45]

The numbers have changed. They were fancier doors last year when I was there.

[JesseSeMario]

How much speed of elevator going up and going down?

[MrOtis0707]

How does it work

[escalatorgeek881]

I wonder if there are any videos of anybody walking up or down that stairwell that snakes around the tram.

[championcynthia123]

i heard wiz khalifa.

[giggleblaggle]

So is that like an elevator "train" with multiple cars that go up and down as one?

[macstre4]

That takes for ever to get to the top.

I'd love to come visit the arch again some day. I visited the arch July of 2007 and I ended up not going to the top. It turned out to be a good idea since later that day the trams' power failed trapping lots of people in the tram cars and at the top of the arch. I'd love to come back and ride to the top of the arch.

I didn't know this was a Montgomery elevator, but I guess this was their best custom project ever. In fact, I went to the Gateway Arch in 2001 on a trip to Oshkosh, Wisconsin to an airshow, and in addition, went to the Gateway Arch when I went through St. Louis. It certainly was an adventure.

[mmonicque]

I never saw an elevator like this, its so cool

[myotismon767]

I didn't know you could go in there. Very interesting.

[SnakeEater9920]

[elevator1tom]

[elevator1tom]

[StackBoy59]

[coolsebas14]

Is this me or this elevator goes in any senses ?

[ilikepie123rs]

if you want to see a small elevator, you need to come to kansas city and come to the kansas city power and light building to see the 1928 otis elevator!

[jjlwis]

COOL!

[5169743494]

They sound kinda bad

[sarahedwards2]

Why are there several different doors?

[FGelevators]

This is cool but it's small. I've been here. If ur in one of the first four cars u will see a window and u can see the tram come down.

[speedbag67]

So cool!!!!!

I never even saw tat!

:-D

[ITouchTutorialsHD]

WOW, The best & weirdest elevator ever.

Are you going to any more places like this soon, I would love to see another elevator like this:)

[reaper9322]

[Skyscraper446]

ThyssenKrupp would install some neat inclinators there - ones that are way faster.
