The ICE Train - A Renaissance on Rails takes you on a rail trip through time. The InterCityExpress, a high speed passenger train which has attracted numerous European travelers back to the rails, made its U.S. debut in 1993 as part of Amtrak's high speed train trials and demonstrations. Built by Siemens and AEG, the ICE Train begins its tour in Pittsburgh, PA - the very heart of America's railroad industry.
Over the next 20,000 miles and 25 cities, the ICE Train dazzles train enthusiasts and spectators alike. Like its thousands of visitors and passengers, you will marvel at the sleek, contemporary design of the train, both inside and out. The ICE Train's historic visit to the U.S. for a tour of duty in Amtrak's Metroliner Service offers a glimpse of what rail travel soon may be like in the U.S.
"Die ICE Train North America Tour war eine sechsmonatige Präsentations- und Erprobungsfahrt eines deutschen ICE-Hochgeschwindigkeitszuges mit den Triebköpfen 401 084-9und 401 584-8 durch Nordamerika im Jahr 1993.
Der Hauptzweck der von Siemens und AEG organisierten Tour lag in der Präsentation der ICE-Technik im Vorfeld der für 1994 geplanten Neubeschaffung von 26 Hochgeschwindigkeitszügen durch die US-amerikanische Eisenbahngesellschaft Amtrak. Die neuen Hochgeschwindigkeitszüge sollten die Metroliner-Flotte der Amtrak ersetzen und auf der Strecke Washington-New York-Boston eingesetzt werden. In weiteren Korridoren war ein Einsatz geplant.
Neben einer transkontinentalen Reise in 25 Großstädte der USA verkehrte der Zug im Oktober und Dezember 1993 auf dem Nord-Ost-Korridor im Liniendienst." Video by Siemens AG

Superb video, always very surreal seeing the ICE train passing in front of the Twin Towers! While the ICE does look very much at home on the Northeast Corridor, I think the X2000, given the fact that there was limited scope to upgrade the infrastructure, would have been the better choice due to its tilting mechanism.

Repost Comment since my original had few errors in it, sorry: For Germans it's always Crazy to see their Trains Operating in other Countries, and the further away they operates the cooler it gets. The ICE 1 shown here wasn't the Last Train that Operated in the US: the ALP-45 and ALP-46 who operates as Passenger Locos are also German Made Trains that runs in Germany as "DB BR 101", which mostly Operates as Locomotive for the InterCity, or IC of the First generation, which - except of the Loco itself, looks like the ICE. the ALP-45 is more like a Exotic variant that we Germans never had, since the ALP-45 has only One Cab, and the other side is like a Direct Connection to the Passenger Coaches. We only have the 2 Sided Cab's variant. In other Countries where I discovered German Made Trains: North Korea Subway: D-Class and Gi-Class Subway Trains, both types are former BVG Subway Trains from Berlin back in 1990s which still operates in NK, the Gi-Class in NK operates as Rural Suburban Passenger Train with often attached Freight Cars to it. The Gi-Class in Berlin is also (Propably) still operating in Berlin, Atleast 2022 I saw one last time - Greece also had for a short time a Gi-Class train operating in Athen as Metro. The Siemens Velaro, a High Speed Train, for Germany Known as ICE 3, also operates in China, Spain and Russia. The other Velaro version, known as ICE 3 Neo in GER, operates as Eurostar and Turkish Highspeed Train. The ICE TD once Operated once in Denmark, but today except one Train it's completely out of service. In South Korea, the Locomotive Class 8100 and Class 8200 are The same as the German DB BR 152, and in Kumamouto, Japan, there operates a Tram as Type 9700. It's design is Based of the GT6N-ZR, a Berlin Variant of the GTxN Tram series that mostly Runs in Germany. There are many More Trains and Locos that operates in far away Countries, like in few US cities there are Diesel Powered Trams, in Germany those same Trains operates as Shuttle Express actually Operating in Rural Areas (if not DB) or as Disel Regio Train for non Electrified areas (if DB). In Canada there were former out of Service DB Trains like the TALENT 1 which were sold to the O-Line as Shuttle Express Train, those Trains still had their Original Color and even Original interior seat-design from DB. In many Eastern Europe Countries like Czechoslovakia or even in Lviv, Ukraine, there are some KT4 Trams that came from the BVG, Berlin. Those Trams even Have the Original Yellow Color Aswell the Original Seat designs. These Trams in Berlin however are completely out of Service Today.

The train still runs (and is very nice) in Germany today. I can only imagine how exciting and futuristic it must have seemed to people in the US in 1993! It was also a reliable and proven design, passengers liked it, so what went wrong? I'm guessing the decision not to introduce ICE was a purely political one? In fact it seems in 30 years the rail technology of the US has barely evolved at all. Best country in the world 😒

Not entirely true, the US does run 150 mph electrified service on the NEC. We just don't have the will power to electrify the 150,000 or so miles of track and upgrade the infrastructure to accomodate high speeds because America's railroads are fractured into a half dozen independent operations that prefer to do their own thing.

0:13 Ice Train bruh i can't... No one ever has called a I. C. E. an Ice train. Imagine someone would call K.F.C. KFUC those would be just random noises. Im not even German but this triggers me harder that US Americans calling Porsche a Porsch. Ain't gonna lie. I like the US term "Beemer" tho :)

The difference between the USA and Europe Rail. is simple Freight is far more important that passengers in the USA,wheres in Europe. Passengers have prority. Outside the N E USA The track isn't good enough to take high speed. Easier to drive or fly

@Mgameing123 Жыл бұрын

If the US double tracked the freight lines then they could easily run passenger trains without too much conflict.

@@Mgameing123 But freight and advanced passenger trains have different heavy duty track. Plus,the signalling is different and then you have bridges, tunnels,embankments etc Mind you the best thing about train travel is seeing the countryside roll by,whilst enjoying a coffee Who wants to go at 200mph,not me!

@@wkaemena zugegeben - der hatte eine andere Getriebeübersetzung und weniger Mittelwagen. Aber auch der Folgezug ICE-S, der bis heute regelmäßig für Mess- und Abnahmefahrten von (neuen) Strecken eingesetzt wird, kam schon auf 393 KM/h, also nicht weit weg. Die Technik ist also da, wir können Züge bis 400KM/h/ca. 250mph bauen

The ICE must have been running at only half the speed here in the US - They have 220V in Germany and here we have only 110V. 😂😜

mich nervt es echt dass der Name ausgesprochen wird obwohl jeder weiß dass man die Buchstaben einzeln sagt also I.C.E und nicht ice und außerdem macht es sehr viel Sinn ein elektronischen Zug von Dieselloks ziehen zu lassen ganz ehrlich dieser Zug gehört nach Hause nach Deutschland und nicht dort rüber (Anyway thanks for the great video)

@wkaemena Жыл бұрын

Ja es machte viel Sinn diesen Zug mit Diesellok in vielen Städten der USAzu präsentieren. Es gab und gibt wichtige Relationen in den USA welche sich für einen (elektrischen) High Speed Verkehr eignen würden und da das Publikum keine Idee von einem modernen Zug hatte, musst der ICE eben mit Diesel dahin geschleppt werden.

You did not understand it. There are many useful city pairs in USA for high speed trains. And this train was used to show the public what is a high speed train. It was not for continental 2 days trips. The northeast corridor is electric and used for high speed .
