Apparently, this was a thing, as the youngsters say nowadays.
"In 1892 the Boynton Bicycle Railway was built in Long Island. This railroad ran on a single rail at ground level, with an overhead stabilising rail. The railway operated for only two years, but the design was adopted elsewhere.”

Who makes the track for this....Gargraves or Ross? Stainless steel? What cars came
with the set?
Now this would be a real challenge to re-rail after a derailment and it falling over. does it have 2 flanges?
Very cool!

I don't know if it had 2 flanges, but they did have to re-rail it.
And they soon electrified, doing away with that dubious steam locomotive.
Does seem to fall under the "more trouble than it's worth" department.
