I have a few ICE photos scattered throughout my photo collection, but only a few on Flickr. I took this one in Munchen Hbf as I was about to get on my train (which wasnt an ICE). #401509-5 is one of the original 401 Class ICE sets from the early 1990s, meaning it can cruise as fast as 280 Km/h (173 m.p.h.) given a dedicated high-speed line rated for 280. Thats impressive enough to American ears, but the newer 403 Class can reach 330 Km/h (205 m.p.h.), so it isnt like progress stopped with the first sets, either. |
