The Liverpool Overhead Railway (known locally as the Dockers' Umbrella or Ovee) was an overhead railway in Liverpool which operated along the Liverpool Docks and opened in 1893 with lightweight electric multiple units. The railway had a number of world firsts: it was the first electric elevated railway, the first to use automatic signalling, electric colour light signals and electric multiple units, and was home to one of the first passenger escalators at a railway station. It was the second oldest electric metro in the world, being preceded by the 1890 City and South London Railway.

  • Die Liverpool Overhead Railway (LOR, deutsch etwa Überkopf-Eisenbahn Liverpool) war eine elektrische Hochbahn in Liverpool. Ihr Konstrukteur war der britische Hafenbau-Ingenieur George Fosbery Lyster. Sie wurde im Jahre 1893 eröffnet und war somit nach der London Underground, aber noch vor der Glasgow Subway die zweite Metro im Vereinigten Königreich und die älteste elektrisch betriebene Hochbahn weltweit. Die Hochbahn wurde 1956 stillgelegt und ihre Strecken abgebaut. Damit gilt sie als das einzige jemals komplett stillgelegte Metrosystem der Welt. (de)

  • Liverpool Overhead Railway (z ang. „Liverpoolska Kolej Nadziemna”) – linia elektrycznej kolei nadziemnej w Liverpoolu, w Anglii, funkcjonująca w latach 1893–1956. Linia przebiegała wzdłuż liverpoolskiej dzielnicy portowej, na trasie liczącej nieco ponad 10 km. Tory umieszczone były około 5 m nad poziomem ulicy, co pozwoliło na ominięcie zatłoczonych już ulic prowadzących do doków portowych. Linia wykorzystywana była wyłącznie do przewozów pasażerskich. Z czasem zyskała przydomek Dockers′ Umbrella („parasol portowców”). (pl)
