@trident3b From what I recall, It had it's pantographs replaced, stronger headlights installed, different train safety equipment installed, electrical adaptations... ICE 1 trains were very large by European standards, but not by US standards. Still, adaptations cost Siemens about 8 million for that one train...

So, our Germany Highspeed-Trains are very succesfull ;)

I'm also amazed that the german train was able to travel around with no problems such as the size e.g in the stations with the steps meeting the platform properly.. amazing. I thought there'd be a difference. What about the power? The old ICE1 shown here ran on 15KVolt at 16.75 Hz... what is the overhead power in the US? Was the ICE converted at all for that??

@trident3b Only the NEC is built for those speeds. Top speed 150 mph and only with the Acela Express. The rest of America is restricted to 79 mph with a couple of spots that allow 110 mph.

Acela also sits there in a technique of an ICE and an X2000?
