High-speed rail in Germany

The InterCityExpress (ICE) network map in Germany (maximum speed limit):
  New lines, 300 km/h (186 mph)
  New and upgraded lines, 250–280 km/h (155–174 mph)
  Upgraded lines, 200–230 km/h (124–143 mph)
  Conventional lines (selected), 160 km/h (100 mph)

Construction of the first high-speed rail in Germany began shortly after that of the French LGVs (lignes à grande vitesse, high-speed lines). However, legal battles caused significant delays, so that the German Intercity-Express (ICE) trains were deployed ten years after the TGV network was established. Germany has around 1,658 kilometers (1,030 miles) of high speed lines.[1]
