The Springfield Monorail was a short lived solar powered transport system in Springfield.
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.

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...
