Recall how Ribicoff built the Connecticut Turnpike parallel to the New York, New Haven, and Hartford's shoreline route, probably costing the railroad most of its freight and many of its passengers. I was surprised to see that the new high-speed light from Munich to Nuremberg is, in part, built alongside A9 to minimize environmental damage! I presume it will be a faster racetrack than what exists around Larchmont and Rye, where automobiles have a 55 mph limit and trains 79 mph.
Articles and photos about this route have sprouted in today's German and Austrian newspapers, but as content changes daily, one might better use a search engine (such as Google News) for "ICE Muenchen Nuremberg."
Today's article at http://www.suddeutche.de
speaks of 300km/per hour and opening date of 28 May, total 171 km between Muenchen and Nuernberg, some stretches already in use.
