Description From my latest tour: [link]

Yes, the unusual amount of snow here caused lots of delays, I don't think a single train was on schedule. Nevertheless, the trains ran, and they ran fast. A few frozen switches might have hindered them a bit, but they remained reliable throughout the day. Here, we can see a third generation ICE train (class 403) thundering through Leverkusen at 125mph. Quite a majestic sight, but don't forget to turn away in time, unless you want to spend the next few minutes cleaning your lens!

Thanks! I liked it as well, due to how nice and sharp the train looks, but it doesn't seem very popular when compared to the previous one.

Very good, though I have to say, the artificial snowstorm is not as dramatic as the previous day's photographs.

You're correct, and I wasn't really aiming for that in this case. I just liked how extremely sharp the entire train came out, showing off it's streamlined shape.
