Several of the folks who participate in the UT senior discussion groups, of which I am a part, have ridden trains in Europe.  Usually just once!  But they know all about it.  Just ask them.  I have never been to Germany.  And I don't intend on going there.  So I need some help from any forum participants who have been there and know what they are talking about. One of the participants told me that the Germans have freight trains that run up to 200 mph.  Really?  Is that true? Do the high speed passengers trains in Germany (IC and ICE), as well as France, Spain, etc., carry package express?  If they do, I can see where someone who does not know the difference between a UPS package and a ton of steel might conclude that German freight trains, as well as others, blaze along at 200 mph, at least over some stretches of track. By the way, what is the difference between an IC and ICE train?
