The Lartigue Monorail, an early monorail design as seen here on the Listowel and Ballybunion Railway, featured a single rail supported by A-frame structures and rolling stock that straddled the rail. The design was based on what Charles Lartigue had seen in Algeria where camels carried heavy loads balanced in panniers on their backs.
