I'm originally from China, studied in Germany for 3 years and now work in the US. I only took ICE for less than 5 times I believe just because they are not covered by the semester ticket. Watching this video, I really missed my happy and peaceful old days there traveling on the regular trains, seeing the farmlands, cows, horses and wind turbines flying away in the window. Bless Germany and German people.

I was a exchange student from South Africa to Germany in 2006. I rode the ICE 5 times. Wonderful train, nearly silent, and so smooth in acceleration and deceleration that the first time I rode one it began to pull away and I got motion sickness, it was so gradual I didn't feel it but I could see it and by brain didn't quite compute. When it gains a bit more speed the best I can describe it is like slipping down a wall of smooth ice (no pun intended). Wonderful machine and service. Its more convenient and comfortable than an airliner.

I watched this while riding in an ICE from München to Berlin. It feels even more amazing to know more about the train you're riding in.

كنت في عام 1992 في المانيا 🇩🇪 وكنت سعيدآ حين سافرت من فرانكفورت الى برلين على القطار السريعICE. شكرآ المانيا صناعة وجودة عالية. الجمهوريةاليمنية I was in Germany in 1992 🇩🇪 and I was happy when I traveled from Frankfurt to Berlin on the express train ICE. Thank you, Germany. High quality and industry.From YEMEN

The way this documentary translates absolutely everything, from curses to little conversations and thank yous, is unnecessary but also at the same time a really nice touch, I like it!

00:19 Driver - WELT - _"Oh, damn"_ 🤣🤣🤣

Party Drinking Game: Drown a shot each time they say "Tilting Technology". *Nearly IMPOSSIBLE.*

Was In Germany at 2005, Experienced the German Transportation system, Bus, Regional Train & ICE... Alles in Ordnung und Perfekt

Wow I'm impressed! As someone who works in the industry I can vouch that this is a fully comprehensive video on the construction and operation of a rail system. From the crew and driver responsibilities and training as well as the construction process of a new line from the initial steps all the way though to the final stages, it literally shows it all and in full detail - well done!

I love ice train I used it from Munich to Frankfurt when I was in Germany it's was amazing.

This guy has a well documented voice ..makes you love any documentary he does

Been to Germany twice for training courses in German factories. They are very clean and efficient. Most trains, etc run on time and are well-maintained.

America needs this!

17:08 Kurzgesagt voice.

I asked for it & waited for it thanks a lot am somewhat a high speed rail enthusiasts & German tech enthusiasts

24 years old ! Great starting and also great documentary.

I travelled around Germany with your ICE trains. I loved them! They also more modern compared to France’s TGV trains.

The man working at the on board restaurant seems so relaxed and friendly. I wish I had a job where I felt as happy as him.

The ICE 1 is my absolute favourite train in the world... Really beautiful and fast train.

I almost fell out of my chair when i heard the voice of the English Kurzgesagt speaker. The world is small after all.

I was stationed in Germany from ‘95-‘98 and rode the trains a lot, and the ICE 4-5 times. While ALL of the DB trains were nice, the ICE was always the best one to ride. On the regular trains, after it got to rolling, I headed straight back to the bistro car and enjoyed a few Hefeweizens and usually a sandwich. The food was always perfect. The first time I used the WC/restroom on one, it blew my mind when I flushed the toilet and saw the cross ties going by underneath when the little trap door opened when I “flushed” the toilet! 😂😳

This was a really nice documentary that you made. I learned a lot and it was relaxing and refreshing. Thank you !!

Trains in the USA are a national disgrace.

I love the documentarys in english! Please more. (Police, Firefighters, Boats, Trains, etc)

I drive those German bullet trains myself and know a lot of those people (since I work in Munich). I will move back to the USA in a couple of years. I will miss those bullet trains though. Nice documentary.

Thanks for providing English content. More English content from WELT please

I was very lucky to have a First Class Eurail Pass. Speeding at 200/kmh between two cities, I went back to the Dining car to get some Lunch. I was assured it would be delivered to my seat, very soon. They seemed to know which seat I was from? As I returned to that seat the train decelerated very quickly and I arrived much more quickly than expected. Then, just as I sat down the Lunch arrived instantaneously , as well! Whoosh!, Whoosh! A very impressive gourmet lunch it was, too. . Wow!

ICE and French TGV on top !

31:18 So he's a SHAFT inspector. Cool.

Great food on the ICE. And cheap, with a good sized portion. The coffee was rather good. I travelled all around Germany, in 2016, on rail. It was great.

I've always loved trains. It remember being young enough to stand by my dad's shoulder to watch the train go over a small trestle, only wide enough for a 1950s car. I always wanted to know where it was going.

Germany does everything best 👌 👍 from cars, roads, architecture, food, tech, trains and beautiful people

@ 3:35 24 year old 👏👏 What an amazing job operating such a fast machine 👌👌

It really is the best way to travel around Germany.

42:76 the way the guy tries to say "spaghetti" all intense like is so hard to take seriously omg

Superb train and faster than taking a plane between cities :)

Great ride... really enjoyed...thanks Deutsche Bahn

I wonder if the narrator is the same as in "Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell"?

So much attention to detail here, truly world class. When the US ever embark on importing HSR trains let's go w the ICE model first.

14:15 she was checking everyone got into train , meanwhile in india 😂😂🤣🤣

I'm a train and I approve this video!!!

This channel must deserve 1 million subscribers.

ICE is best for traveling with children over long distances, way better than a ride in a car.

Always a competition between Alstom & Siemens

We all know the sucktion effect at 25 Km/h :D

am i hearing kurtgesagt in a nut shell?

The commentary is great over the ICE. The cool one is ICE trains goes also to neighbour countgries of Germany, like France and Switzerland. Its very nice, when you like to go from Switzerland to Germany you dont have to change the train, the same is also when you go to Paris to Frankfurt[Main. The cool thing is you dont have to leave the train, on the boarder. The border control check your passport on the running train. You dont have to leave your seat.

here in my country we dont have trains we have turtles xd

Steve Taylors Voice narrating brings Kurzgesagt vibes everywhere!

german efficiency is top notch!

I've tried ICE a few times from Amsterdam to Munich, Stuttgart and Frankfurt. There is never a direct line and I ALWAYS miss my connection in Germany. I tried to book a connection taking more time into account for transfer but web sites hardly ever enable you to do that (or it is simply not clear to me how to do that). So I switched back to flying.

Really love the design of the ICE trains

I love the real bar in the Boardtestaurant😍

I always admire the German and the Japanese of their efficiency.

One of the narrators sounds exactly like the narrator for the Kurzgesagt RU-vid channel. And thank you for this great documentary.

When a nation thinks in a consistent way all the structures formed in the dynamics of the whole rationally accommodates the final function of everything, and from there the development efficiency occupies its most coherent place to its citizens.

I drove the ICE in the simulator in Fulda in 2016. What an experience.

This was very interesting - I watched it all the way through. I don't know offhand how many passenger-kilometers or passenger-miles are completed with trains in DE vs. other modes, but I assume it's much more than intra-country travel by air, for example. Thus, these kinds of engineering jobs seem to be very important. I could follow the basics of most of the technical explanations. Too bad I'll never get a chance to do any of this work - looks very fulfilling. Even when I lived in DE a long time ago, not long after the ICE 1 was put into service, I never got to ride one. Would be fun to ride now, I bet! München-Berlin in 4 hours! That would have been inconceivable back then.

THINK about that. A German Train Engineer personally responsible not only for the Operation of the Train; but also for the Safety and Well Being of all the Passengers Aboard AT AGE 24. Half the kids in the United States still live at Home in their Parents Basement.

Ist echt witzig wenn man die erst auf Deutsch guckt und dann auf Englisch.

I just found this video, coincidentally 1 day before I fly from the US to Germany to visit family and my hometown of Erlangen. ❤

I wish that we will have this kind of technology in the Philippines in particular the island of Mindanao. Connecting all the cities and provinces. Wow.

So just to make sure, someone else recognizes the Kurgezgat guys voice right?

America would NEVER.

I have not watched the end of the video. Very thank you for your good work.

I'm surprised the train drivers are so young, I would have thought they would assign more senior/experienced drivers for flagship services like ICE.

Watching this after the Deadliest Roads documentary just reminds one how differently the world has progressed. We hope to get here one day

3:47 kurzgesagt voice 😄👍🏻

There is no way that lady didn't know how to fold that stroller

We will never have anything like this train in North America. The automobile industry will never allow it., they want to sell us cars, cars and more cars and will stop any government that attempts to build one. We are stuck with 1800's trains.

Do I hear the Kurzgesagt guy's voice in here? lol

Ever notice that the nations most devastated in WWII have the most advanced rail?

This is my favorite video

God bless Germany 🇩🇪

The narrator is at 43:36 is same as kusazeght as a nutshell 😂😂

36:09 YOU LOST THE GAME.. *TWICE.*

done.. I have experienced NDE in 2018, I was 28, I was in a rush and realised I will not catch my train if I use the stairs on the platform. Since I was alone there I decided to cross the railroads, even though every cell in my body and my gut feeling were telling me not to do it. What happened in next few seconds will forever be embedded in my memory, my body, my mind. I started to run across and once I reached opposite end I realised that the wall / floor that I have to climb is bigger than I thought.. somehow I managed to lift myself up and in exactly that moment I heard the worst sound in my life, you know that sound of electric wires snapping ( I dont even know how to explain it) but the ICE train ( they go over 300 kmh) was just passing the by and driver was honking frantically… it still sends shivers down to my spine while I am writing about it…only seconds later I realised why he was doing it, while I was busy climbing that wall other ICE train was approaching, and my only guess is that driver from the first train (far side at that moment) was desperately tried to warn me to hurry up.. we are talking milliseconds here … when I was finally standing on the platform the second train near my side was passing with a speed of bullet and also He honked as well.. simultaneously with the first train… I dont know what saved me on that day, I sometimes contemplate it and I dont know how I made such a grave mistake… what was I thinking? I even thought that perhaps in some other timeline I never managed to climb up that wall / platform in time… and also due to all these dark thoughts and scenarios every now and then I look for this kind of videos on youtube.. currently I am in a very bad period of my life due to financial struggles, no relationship experiences, etc etc.. I just wanted to share this with someone.. and hopefully this will serve as a warning to never ever cross the railroads…😢

Get there so fast, you'd think you were on ICE

Travelled last week from Frankfurt hbf to Munich hbf on ICE .

It's a shame that the London St Pancras International service never commenced as planned.

Danke

Come see the infrastructure in the USA! We're #1! ....in 1958

German guy: "Scheisse!" Translator: "Oh damn" X to doubt translation accuracy.

Whats Kurzgesagt doing here?!

My leg's turned to jelly watching that.

World's fourth best high speed railway. Congrats.

Sounds like the Kursgesagt voice🧐🧐🧐

At first, i thought the train are using ice wheel to run, ngl.

42:55. “They appear to be as flexible as spaghetti 🍝”: I like 👍 that analogy. 😂 😂 🤣 🤣

Shinkansen Is The Best High Speed Train

love it, nice documentary!

0:17 "Oh damn" is not the correct translation 😂

Alstom SA and Siemens AG are no doubt the pioneers of European High Speed Railway network..Period..

Well, don't forget that the tilting train was invented by Fiat in the late 60's with the famous " Pendolino" and least but not last the actual Italian high-speed train can run at more than 300 Km ..

I was a NDT technician, wheel lathe operator, in a re-railing team, and much more in rail workshop. But i left, because of heavyworkload but small pay. 😊

LOL all that hi-tech train technology and nothing yet replaces the good old station master's whistle 14:18 except it's now station mistress.

best way to travel around the country, I use frequently.... from Berlin center to center of Munich... 4 hrs... flying could be half, or less but going from the airport to airport a pain in the ass

so fast, but always late.
