Something that i'd like to add so people will avoid random emergency brakes: In some cases (not everywhere) there can be something called a prüfabschnitt or a test section before a new speed limit. These will check befor the signal at which the speed must be reached if the train has allready slowed down to a certain degree. For example in front of a signal which wants you to drive 100 after passing it will have a test section testing for 115 or 110kph. If driving above that the train would recieve a 2000hz emergency brake. So watch out and brake soon enough.
Thanks for the detailed video. I have a question: in the LZB demonstration, the timetable speed is 160 km/h and we run at 200 km/h. How could this be? I do not understand. Or have I missed something?
In Germany, any train that exceeds 160 kph must have LZB. I believe the speeds in the timetable do not apply to LZB as these are managed by a central computer system and can vary based on everything from the state of the tracks, the curvature, even the specific train's capabilities.
the most educational I've ever watched thank you very much

@@RailsAndAles That is correct the timetable only displays the allowed speed which you would need to adhere to if you are not in lzb supervision.
