ICE 3 Cab

Description

For the sake of comparison, we have here the cab of an ICE 3. Note the presence of 2 computer monitors instead of one, more buttons and more switches. Due to the more gradual angle of the nose, the engineer has less visibility in this cab than he does in the slower ICE T's, though the windshield appears to be about the same size. Also of interest is the decal on the right side window frame that states the train's maximum velocity as 330 Km/h. The console is of lighter shades of grey, making it easier to photograph. Incidentally, the only place the ICE 3 is currently allowed to go any faster than 300 Km/h is on the French LGV Est between Paris and Forbach/Saarbrücken.

To make this picture reasonably presentable, I burned in the upper left corner to minimize the sun flare coming in through the tinted upper windshield. Here, by the way, the second class cabin was facing backwards, so this view is out the rear of the train...hence the empty seat and dark monitors.

The blue color tint of that picture says me that you took that shot through the safety glass, didn't you? :D
