Description

Class 101 thundering through Leverkusen with a EuroCity (EC) train in tow.

According to Wiki, these are the criteria for this train service:

- train through two or more countries
- all cars air-conditioned
- stops only at major cities
- stops for no more than five minutes, in special cases up to 15 minutes
- food and beverages available onboard (preferably from a dining car)
- conductors speak at least two languages, one of which must be English, French or German
- average speed (including stops) above 90 kilometres per hour (56 mph), exceptions for mountainous terrain and train ferries

In this case, it's a rake of Swiss carriages, which means that this is probably the one running between Hamburg and Chur twice a day. Top speed on these tracks is 125mph.

Moar 101s, because I rarely ever take photos of these. They're too ubiquitous and boring for me to be interested in catching them.

Interessant, ich kenne zumindest eine Ausnahme was den Halt in großen Städten angeht... Noch interessanter ist die Tatsache dass die Ausnahme sogar mehr als 2 Länder sieht^^ oO
Aber das ist die Logik der Bahn: Je länger die strecke (und größer die verspätung), desto mehr zusatzhalte...
Und, geht es dir gut?
