ICE 2

Common card · No. 371308

The ICE 2 is the second series of German high-speed trains and one of six in the Intercity-Express family since 1995. Unlike the ICE 1, The ICE 2 trains are push–pull trains because each train consists of only one power car (Class 402, called powerhead), six passenger cars (Classes 805 to 807) and a cab car (Class 808). The maximum speed is 280 km/h (175 mph), but this is limited to 250 km/h (155 mph) when the cab car is leading the train and even further down to 160 km/h (100 mph) when two units are coupled at the powerheads due to the forces on the overhead line by their respective pantographs.
