Description
ICE North America Tour, 1993
Siemens and AEG, with the cooperation of Amtrak and the Deutschen Bundesbahn, have brought a DB InterCity Express Train to the United States for a six month technical trial and demonstration. After spending July undergoing testing,the ICE begins a two-month national tour of public displays in August and will then enter Amtrak's Metroliner service on the Northeast Corridor from October through December 1993.

A series of technical tests verified the train's ability to operate safely on U.S. tracks -- the Amtrak ICE Train has been tested at up to 162 mph on the Northeast Corridor. Amtrak has applied to the Federal Railroad Administration for a waiver to the Corridor's current 125 mph speed limit in order to operate the ICE at up to 140 mph in revenue Metroliner Service.

This is a tribute to high-speed train efforts of Amtrak and the arrival of American creators to Germany, for PDXCON 2019.

I remember seeing these as a kid in Philly running up and down the NE corridor before they went with the Acela's flying thru North Philadelphia Station. Nice job!
