ICE2/2
In addition to today's ICE1 and the ICE2 (half an ICE1 with
power car, 6 middle cars and cab car) being built, a 3rd
generation is under development - the ICE2/2. Technically it is
almost "complete" in the computer, the design of the carbodies
and interior will take some more time (first models will be
presented in May).
Differences to ICE2: no more locomotive; traction equipment
spread over the whole train; conforms to Technical
Specifications of Interoperability (max train length 400 m, max
axle load 17 t, optimized for 0.55 m and 0.76 m platforms,
profile for loading gauge UIC 505, pressure proof, compatible to
current, signalling and communication systems of the used
lines); lighter, shorter and narrower cars (for total train
length and international loading gauge). Like the ICE2, two
trains can be coupled. (no idea whether you will be able to mix
ICE2 and ICE2/2)
Configuration:
1. 1st cl, 1 inverter, 4 traction motors, cab
2. 1st cl, (DC pantograph,) transformer
3. 1st cl, 1 inverter, 4 traction motors
4. dining-car, special compartments, batteries
5. 2nd cl, AC pantograph, batteries, pneumatic equipment
6. 2nd cl, 1 inverter, 4 traction motors
7. 2nd cl, (DC pantograph,) transformer
8. 2nd cl, 1 inverter, 4 traction motors, cab
DBAG will order:
37 trains class 403 (1999): 15kV17Hz
4 trains class 405 (1998): 15kV17Hz, 25kV50Hz, 1.5kV=

You can see that the ICE2 is closer to the ICE1 technically than
to the ICE2/2; the reason why that strange name was chosen
instead of ICE3 is that some of the ICE2 orders were cancelled
and ICE2/2 ordered instead. The ICE1 and ICE2 cannot be used in
international connections except to Switzerland/Austria, and it
can't handle the steep grades (4%) planned for the new line
K�ln - Frankfurt, therefore the new development. The train that
comes after the ICE2-2 will be an experimental train again (like
the InterCityExperimental), called ICE21, to test several new
technologies such as single wheel trucks.

That was originally used for the Intercity EMUs built in the early 1970s. They were to herald in a new age of fast intercity travel, but then DB changed back to a concept of locomotive hauled trains for Intercity. Plus going to 1st and 2nd class Intercity in 1979 kind of put the 1st class only EMUs out of a job. The trains were then repainted in Lufthansa's colors and operated as Lufthansa Airport Express (so treated as flights), until last year. They are now sidelined and one may be kept as a museum train. Like ICE2/2 they were true EMUs with traction and electrical equipment distributed all over the train, unlike the ICE1 and ICE2, which in have traction and electrical equipment concentrated in one or both end cars. So as a new train with class 403 is coming, we've come full circle, back to a true EMU for fast long distance travel. And it only took 20+ years. Claes Jonasson
