Everyone always forgets about Metro-North, which is elevated for almost 2 miles above Park Ave...
Also Vancouver's SkyTrain is probably the best example of modern elevated rail in North America. Miami's metro is also well-designed, Harry Weese and other designers worked hard to keep the viaducts as low-slung and slender as possible so they didn't overpower the surrounding neighborhoods like Washington or Atlanta's systems.
