This is the main railroad from Kassel to Leipzig in the center of Germany. The city here is Leinefelde. In the past it was a important transport nodes.

In Germany is the truck the number one transporter. I hope in the future we go back using more train!

But the best time for train is over. German man love his car.
Maybe time come back, when the oil is empty.

I read in Europe long ago trucks displaced trains for freight.

And as for passengers, it's like Germany is now going through what North America went through a long time ago. I always hear that Germany has one of the best passenger rail networks, DESPITE also having the best (and fastest) highways (is it true that on the Autobahns, the speed limit is just a suggestion?)

Yesssss, there is on many tracks no speed limit.

But so many cars on the Autobahn, so drive carefully, maybe 160km/h (100 miles/h)  
Sometimes the highways is free, then rock on and enjoy 250km/h , if your car can.
