This is the final 101-series locomotive to be built, completed 18 June
1999. Capable of 250 kph, it is probably the last of this kind of locomotive. ICE trains
and the TransRapid represent the future of DB passenger railroading.
Erhard climbs into the 101.
The German equivalent of a triple-valve.
The main compressor (rear) and the smaller emergency compressor.
Spare cables for emergencies with substantial current-carrying
capability!
The modern fuse box of the 101-series.
A forward-looking radar ensures the track is open. When traveling at 250
kph, things happen quickly and it's important to see farther than the eye can.
