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.

ICE 402 007 'STENDAL' lascia Bochum Hbf il 14 febbraio 2022 in direzione Hamm (Westfalen) dove un'unità gemella verrà aggiunta prima di proseguire attraverso Hannover Hbf verso Berlino - passando nel frattempo proprio accanto alla sua omonima Stendal.
