Description
Railway 2 Edition, 7 Cars North America Tour configuration

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.

ok thanks!

@Embeddeddeer97 original Amtrak ICE release is compatible with vanilla tracks, Railway 1 and other networks on WS. This edition is compatible with Railway 2 USA edition, which has an accurate 1:1 scale wire height based on Northeast Corridor standards. Because of this, this train and the other one i released (shorter one) has higher pantograph.

This is the main difference, aside the lenght.

“They were a big hit with the public, as one might imagine. They were sleek-looking, modern, comfortable and smacked of the future...the American public's appetite for new, higher-speed trains was whetted.” Lol
