-Thanks to a fine [[Mr. Burns]] had to pay for illegally dumping [[radioactive waste]] in a playground, Springfield came into possession of $3,000,000 (though [[Mayor Quimby]] attempted to pocket a million dollars for himself). A town meeting was held to decide what to do with the money. The townspeople were on the verge of adopting [[Marge Simpson]]'s proposal to use the money to repair Main Street, when a man named [[Lyle Lanley]] interrupted the meeting and suggested using it to buy one of his monorails. Lanley's sales pitch trumped Marge's proposal, and the town built the monorail. Some people voiced concerns about the practicality of a monorail in Springfield, but Lanley deftly skirted around their questions. [[Homer Simpson]] became the conductor of the Monorail, chosen at random after an "extensive 3 week training course", which actually consisted solely of the meaning of the monorail's name (mono= one; rail= rail).

-[[Marge]] was not convinced by Lanley's charm and decided to go to [[North Haverbrook]] to see what a monorail had done for their town. She arrived to see the monorail in ruins and North Haverbrook a veritable ghost town, devastated by "one of the crappiest trains ever built", and learned that Lanley had deliberately cut every corner possible and then skipped town with all of the leftover money. The result: North Haverbrook's monorail crashed almost instantly, causing tremendous property damage and loss of life.

 === Maiden voyage ===
-On the day of the maiden voyage, Lyle Lanley escaped from Springfield with the money he'd "saved" from cost-cutting. Soon after, the monorail went out of control after a part blew, unable to stop because it was solar powered and the [[Seld M Break|braking system]] was broken. The passengers were saved when Homer Simpson used the letter "M" (from the word "Monorail" in the door signage) as an improvised anchor. Homer threw the "M" (tied to the monorail by a rope) out the window and it became stuck in a giant advertising donut of the shop {{ap|Donuts|shop}}, bringing the monorail to a stop.
+The maiden voyage was attended by celebrities, including [[Dash Calhoun]], [[Krusty the Clown]], [[Kyle Darren]], and {{Ch|Leonard Nimoy}}.

-Lyle Lanley was later attacked by an angry mob in North Haverbrook when his escape plane touched down there briefly. The Springfield Monorail was demolished, but the station was not, and it is currently now in ruin and a target for vandals. The abandoned station has since became a popular tourist destination site.

+A project called Beautiful [[Skypark-Line]] was built on top of the Monorail. Skypark-Line was opened to the public in Springfield, which many townspeople visited on the day. When the power was turned on to the park, the old Monorail train received power and started up. It tore through the Skypark-Line, destroying much of it and hitting [[Sebastian Cobb]]. Eventually, it crashed off the edge and destroyed a statue memorial of {{Ch|Leonard Nimoy}}.<ref>"[[The Old Blue Mayor She Ain't What She Used to Be]]"</ref>
