I rode the ICE train roundtrip from Frankfort to Hamburg in 1996 and was amazed. 150+ mph and it felt like I was sitting on my living room couch. Razor smooth track. The most amazing part was when I was standing in the Hamburg station (1400 trains a day) and watching the track boards (the type that flipreally fast) spin around to show the next train due. These trains are timed incredibly accurately. When they say 2:14 they don't mean 2:14 and thirty seconds. Nice touch was the girl handing out free apples with the DB (Deutche Bahn) logo somehow printed on the apple. On the return trip, while I was standing in the Frankfort station, which is a dead end terminal (trains back in or out) I recalled that Amtrak had tried out an ICE trainset in the US a few years ealier. Just so happended that the locomotive next to me was a bit dusty, and I could make out where some lettering had been removed. Sure enough "Amtrak" was barely visible on the front! Mike
