The ICE 1 is the first batch-produced German high-speed train and one of six in the Intercity Express family. Revenue service at speeds up to 250 km/h (155.3 mph) started in 1991. It was raised to 280 km/h (174.0 mph) in May 1995 and temporary reduced to 250 km/h (155.3 mph) again, as a result of the Eschede accident.

Because relatively few axles have traction, the steepness of the grade the trains can safely negotiate are limited. The ICE 1 is limited to grades of about 3.5%. Steeper grades cannot be negotiated safely, because the wheels could slip due to the low adhesion under adverse conditions, which may lead to a stopped train becoming stuck on a grade. This is one of the reasons the ICE 1 is not homologated for the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed rail line, which has grades of up to 4%. View attachment 71361 The intermediate cars sit on type MD 530 bogies with steel suspension and an axle base of 2500 mm. New wheels have a diameter of 920 mm. They are replaced when they reach a diameter of 860 mm. The cars are coupled 900 mm above the rails by a semi-automatic coupling that was designed specifically for the ICE 1. It couples two brake pipes, two electric trainlines, cables and two fibre optic cables. The passage between two cars is 1.1 m wide and 2.05 m high. Unlike on the InterCityExperimental, they are not positive locked on the outside. ETCS Cab SignallingEdit The 19 ICE 1 trainsets used for service into Switzerland were equipped with the European Train Control System (ETCS) in 2007 The cost of 34 million Swiss Francs was paid by the Swiss government.

If you want this thread to gain any kind of traction, maybe edit it to a) give it a useful title and b) tell us what you want us to take from this selection of photos. Otherwise, it's going to disappear into the deep abyss of pointless forum spam fairly swiftly. Edit: Much better!
All of your pictures are not taken of an actual ICE 1. This are pictures of the ICE 1: Cab: First class: Second class: Restaurant coach: you can also find some more pictures by clicking on this link: https://www.vagonweb.cz/fotogalerie/D/DB_401.php
Great suggestion, but the ICE 1 can drive up to 280 km/h again since 2010 because of the route Nürnberg-Ingolstadt https://www.ice-treff.de/index.php?mode=thread&id=489701
