- lillecarl 5y agoSo who takes the train?
- komadori 5y agoI think: ICE = Inter-City Express (train)
- mjhatrick 5y ago(As opposed to Internal Combustion Engines, which may have caused the confusion)
- lillecarl 5y agoIndeed it was what confused me. I'm Sweden our vocabulary is: Train, Commuter train, Subway, Tram Then again, our fastest train does 200 kph, so we only have "old shitcans". I reckon this is because we're 12% the population of Germany on 126% the area. It's not worth the investment with high speed rail. Then again these numbers are a bit exaggerated, you could essentially cut Sweden in into 2 pieces just above Stockholm and you'd end up with one relatively densely populated area and something that would more or less resemble Alaska in population. What's great about the north is it is our own little Alaska in the sense that we have a metric shitload of iron ore so pure you can put it straight to the furnace, keeps us southerners afloat for sure.
