Uncommon on the Sieg route, the ICE 2, Tz 222 "Eberswalde," led by the power car 402 022-8, presumably running as an empty transfer train, passes through Scheuerfeld/Sieg towards Siegen on July 5, 2026. The ICE 2, the second generation of high-speed trains in Germany, was put into service in 1996. Unlike the ICE 1, the ICE 2 is limited to six intermediate cars, one control car, and one power car. A train consists of: • Power car of class 402 • First-class car Apmz of class 805.3 as car 27 or 37 • First-class car Apmz of class 805.0 as car 26 or 36 • Onboard restaurant WRmbsz of class 807.0 as car 25 or 35 • Second-class service car Bpmbz of class 806.0 as car 24 / 34 • Second-class car Bpmz of class 806.3 as car 23 or 33 • Second-class car Bpmz of class 806.6 as car 22 or 32 • Second-class control car Bpmzf of class 808.0 as car 21 / 31 This train concept allows coupling two trains into a double train. The ICE 2 follows the concept of double traction: This enables flexible deployment – as double traction on routes with high demand and with half the seating capacity on routes with lower passenger volumes. The operational concept of the ICE 2 also considers "splitting" both train parts to different travel destinations, thus providing more direct connections without transfers. For example, two ICE 2 trains cover the route from Berlin to Hamm/Westphalia as a double train and then split there into two separate train services towards Essen/Düsseldorf and Hagen/Wuppertal, respectively. Characteristic of the ICE 2 are the nose flaps on the power car and control car. They conceal the coupling to minimize air resistance during high-speed operation at up to 280 kilometers per hour. All ICE 2 trains underwent a comprehensive modernization starting in 2011, during which, among other things, the passenger information system was expanded to a total of six monitors per car and handrails were installed on the new seats.
