Guten Tag! :D

As a spiritual sequel to my earlier History of the TGV video, we now cast our eye over its German neighbour, the InterCity Express or ICE Train, a high speed passenger operation that, despite a rough start, has now established itself as one of the most sophisticated forms of travel in Europe.

Special thanks to Willy Kaemena for allowing me permission to use his fantastic footage from the ICE train's demonstration runs in the United States during the summer of 1993, and I thoroughly recommend you watch his original video which can be found at the following link:
