The ICE 1 is the first series of German high-speed trains and one of five in the InterCityExpress family. Revenue service at speeds up to started in 1991. It was raised to in May 1995 and later reduced to again. Today, only a handful of ICE 1 services on the Nuremberg-Ingolstadt high-speed rail line reach . Trainsets consist of two power cars (Class 401) and up to 14 intermediate cars (Classes 801 to 804). Occasionally, power cars and intermediate cars of the ICE 2 are used as well (Classes 402, 805 to 808). Unlike later ICE generations, trainsets always operate as a whole train and units cannot be coupled in regular service. One of the 60 trainsets (trainset 51) was destroyed in the Eschede train disaster. The others were refurbished between 2005 and 2008. Refurbished trainsets will remain in service for ten to fifteen additional years. == Formation == ICE 1 trains consist of two powerheads and 9 to 14 intermediate cars. Because trainsets are not separated in regular service, they are multiple units from an operational point of view. During the refurbishment, which was completed in late 2008, trainsets were being standardized to 12 intermediate cars. Until the refurbishment was completed, there had been three different configurations of ICE 1 trainsets: * Refurbished trainsets consist of two power cars and 12 intermediate cars. These include four cars first class, including the service car with the conductors' compartment (numbered 9, 11, 12, 14), one restaurant car (8) and seven cars second class (1 to 7).〔 Smoking is prohibited in all cars. Cars 1, 3, 9, 11 and 14 are equipped with cellular repeaters. * Non-refurbished trainsets for domestic service consisted of three cars first class (11, 12 and 14), seven cars second class (1 to 7), a service car (9) and a restaurant car (10). Car number 7 might have been one of three types: an original second-class-car of the ICE 1, a second-class-car from the ICE 2 or a first-class car from the ICE 1, marked as second class. The first class car number 13 was removed; this was one of two first class cars for smokers, but without the additional equipment of car 14 (video, telephone) * Non-refurbished trainsets for service into Switzerland consisted of four cars first class (11 to 14) and six cars second class (1 to 6) plus service and restaurant cars (9 and 10) A train consisting of 14 cars has a length of . Prior to the refurbishment this train would have had 192 seats in first class, 567 seats in second class and 40 seats in the restaurant car plus four in the conference compartment. There are two storing positions for wheelchairs.〔 Most cars of the ICE 1 offer both compartments and rows of seats, just like the seating in German InterCity cars.〔 Cars at the ends of the trainsets were smoking areas. There are "quiet" cars as well as cars that were later equipped with cell phone repeaters.〔 Some seats were designed to turn to face the direction of travel, but this was never used in revenue service.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ICE 1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
