ICE Train Demonstration on AMTRAK Northeast Corridor

I took this photo on October 5, 1993 with my Minolta Maxxim 2000 SLR Camera with Slide Film. I scanned the slide to create the Electronic Image shown here.

 

For several months in 1993, AMTRAK borrowed an (Demo) ICE Train from Germany [Built by Krauss-Maffei (body) Krupp, Henschel

AEG, ABB, Siemens (electrics)] for testing on AMTRAK's Northeast Corridor.

 

I took several photos of the ICE (Inter City Express) at the Metropark Station on the Northeast Corridor Platform in Iselin, New Jersey during October and November as the ICE Train Demonstrator sped by on the center tracks during AMTRAK's evaluation period of both the ICE Train and the X-2000.
