Crossing the Taunus and Westerwald mountain ranges, combined with the goal of building and operating a dedicated passenger traffic route with a maximum speed of 300 km / h, required technical advances in rail systems and considerable engineering ability.

Focussing on the essentials, those who implemented this project, give interesting insights into the technical premises and the practical realisation of the Köln- Rhein/Main line, the new technologies, such as ICE 3, eddy current brakes, line control, GSM R, or slab track and their interaction.

In this book, the reader learns about the leap in railway system technology from the planning /design to the commissioning of a new train on a new line with new equipment.
