<p>Here are some examples:</p> <p>Cologne to Mainz (left side of River Rhein): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT1qCzB01Ac">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT1qCzB01Ac</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6NT_trPaYA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6NT_trPaYA</a></p> <p>Hamburg to Bremen: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnaRgNDMDu8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnaRgNDMDu8</a></p> <p>Hamburg to Hannover: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peP5ZkvU514">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peP5ZkvU514</a></p> <p>They are run as I described before. You will not see ICE trains and freight trains on single track lines.</p> <p>As I said before, it doesn't matter for crashworthiness as neither the Tier 1 standard trains nor the European standard train will "survive" a 50 mph crash with a 2,000 tons freight train. They are not designed for it.</p> <p>With single track there might be more chances for accidents but could have been solved long ago with ATS systems.</p> <p>The FRA has introduced 49 CFR Part 238 Appendix G as the realized that CEM design provides much better survival chances than the traditional design, even the American kind of operation.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
