3 september 2008 - Frankfurt am Main, Germany – Flughafen. Underneath a SkyLine passenger car, showing the three-phase electrical pickup and (just visible at the bottom) one of the guide wheels that engage the running rail. In this inspection pit, there is no guide rail. There are eight rubber-tyred guide wheels per car, four on each side.

3 september 2008 - Frankfurt am Main, Germany – Flughafen. Another view under SkyLine car 003 shows the running wheels and horizontal guide wheel system in more detail. You can see in the distance where the guide rails end. Unlike some rubber-tyred metros, this system does not use steel wheels or steel rails. As it is a very wet day, this car has probably been brought into the pits so the pit crew can remove the slick tyres and replace them with intermediate, wet weather tyres.
