It’s PR no doubt, but they’ve been promoting that for some time now without reports that indicate otherwise, which make me believe it’s true. And yes it’s only for long-distance trains
Comment on ICE is 30 minutes late again. I'm really pissed about that.

From my balcony I have a very nice view of the giant smoke stack from the coal power plant and on the other direction the giant smoke stack from the sewage treatment plant where they burn solid wastes, I hope to recover some energy, although I am not sure about that.

Yeah, German rail makes the math look good. On paper, the fast passenger trains run on renewable energy. But then there’s cargo trains on the same tracks, which do not.
