European Railroad Discussion > Danish Talgos Enter Copenhagen to Hamburg Service

Danish State Railways today started the use of their new Spanish-built Talgo trains on the 
Copenhagen to Hamburg route.  Initially one roundtrip will run daily with more to be added 
as additional trains are released for service.  Sixteen trains are on order with eight now
in Denmark.

The final configuration will be a 16 car train(including a cab car) operated with one Siemens
Vectron locomotive.  With the cab cars still awaiting approval service will start as 15 car
trains with Vectrons at each end.   Eventually they will also be used on domestic services.
Despite the Talgo 230 name top speed will be 200 km/h.

Interesting - not sure I've seen that "step-up" feature on the first car of the train before on Talgo sets.    Quite striking-looking trains!
