One rail instead of the usual pair is the whole point of the monorail emoji, the transit style behind Tokyo's airport line. That also covers the loops circling Disney's parks and hanging variants like Wuppertal's, where the cars ride below the track instead of on top of it, and the emoji gets picked specifically for that single-rail detail, not trains in general.
What 🚝 means
The train, seen from the side, has a low, pointy nose, a sleek windshield, a couple of windows along its body, and runs on a single rail with a blue guard enclosing the wheels.
The 🚝 Monorail emoji refers to one of the modern upgrades of the traditional train. It suggests speed, comfort to a good extent, passenger and goods transfer, and a sense of being flexible with the location of tracks.
