ICE TD, Schiefe Ebene
Unknown ICE class 605 climbing up the Schiefe Ebene to Marktschorgast at route km 77.6. The maximum grade is 25‰. The service life of the class 605 was rather ill-fated. The ICE TD units were plagued by technical problems from the start. After the breaking of an axle on 2 December 2002, all 20 units were grounded. Photo taken in March 2002.
