Railfanning ICEs
It really was astonishing to me how you could get right up to the tracks with zero gates or no trespassing signs. I of course stayed well behind some concrete walls and lineside equipment (the video is deceptive, as it was shot in 3x zoom), but, still, the level of access is incredible! Take that, England! (It’s much harder to rainfan his majesty’s trains because they’re all shrouded behind stupidly high walls and fences, whereas, here, they’re displayed almost like a form of public art! I love this country!)
My goodness this was a fun trip. The trains are ginormous, and are traveling so fast they literally sound like airplanes! 11/10 would leave America again for better train infrastructure.
