A joke -- monorail? (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

one-liner

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'a joke' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'monorail?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for one-liner that I've seen before include "Witty remark contained in a single sentence" , "Flat, smooth" , "Single sentence jokes" , "Quick gag" , "Short joke - witty remark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
