Glad you all enjoyed his photos. I had to show him how to use his camera several times, but other than that....he did well for a rookie ..... we even saw a couple of airplanes while waiting on trains. Matter of fact I have a great shot of a Cessna majestically flying overhead should anyone be interested in seeing it
state run and impersonal, so much like bad customer service
Well, I don't know about the regional trains but I love their ICE's! The train linking Dusseldorf HBF with Dusseldorf Airport ain't half bad either.
I love DB. I rode ont he newest ICE train back in 2000 from Munich to Hannover for the world's fair up there. It was incredible. If you get near the front or the back, you can actually see out the front of the train. Our train from Munich left so early that the station was actually closed. When it finally opened, we went in and I was invited by one of the drivers of the ICE3 to go in and sit down in the cockpit (or whatever you call it in a train) it was incredible. Surprisingly very fiew controls. Though, I wouldent know what to do with any of them. The best thing about trains in Europe, you can actually get somewhere taking them without taking days.
Definitely, trains in the US, compared with those in Europe, are pieces of crap!!!
The US railroad network is, by far, the worst among the rich nations of the world.
That's because people in the U.S. won't take trains, because nearly everyone here has quicker and more efficient ways to get where they are going (flying, driving, etc.).
Freight railroads in the U.S. are going strong, and are among the most advanced in the world.
I've been on an ICE a few times, from Heidelberg-Frankfurt and Heidelberg-Paris. The ICE is really the best out there IMO, so quick and sleek looking, and a pleasure to ride. Trains are everywhere in Europe, they really have a good public transportation system over there.
