About 1997 we purchased tickets on an ICE from Munich to Stuttgart. A digital speedometer was at one end of the car. I was very disappointed that we got nowhere near high speed, especially as we wound our way through the hills from Ulm to Stuttgart. I just checked an ICE schedule: 56 minutes for about 90 km, or about 60 mph average. That'd be good time on most Amtrak routes, but it isn't high speed. I think the Stuttgart 21 project involves more than the stub-end terminal and includes a straighter route from Ulm. And I could be wrong. |
