ICE Highspeed Train of the Deutsche Bahn, Germany.

ICE high speed trains operate all over Germany, with many connections to neighbouring countries such as Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, France and Switzerland. The trains have a maximum speed of 300 KM/hour (186mph) and connect major German cities and other cities in the neighbouring countries. I once had the pleasure of traveling in one of these ICE trains from Hamburg to Frankfurt. It was a remarkable experience. This train is awaiting a departure at the Frankfurt Hbf (Frankfurt Main Railway Station)
