Fast Travel in Germany.

The speed of German passenger
trains, even of the express trains, Is
not usually remarkable. The So
called 'Schn ellzuege'' and "Eilzuege''
('tfast" trains and hurry trains), for
the first of which an extra charge is
made, are both ordinarily deliberate
ton trains and locals often spend
much time between stations, usually
in sight of each other.
However, German trains usually run
on schedule time. The new summer
timetable for the German state rail-
advances in speed, principally, of
course, for through trains. The fast
est train in Germany is the so-called
''D-Zug 20'' between Berlin and Ham
burg, which maintains an average
speed of 55.177 miles per hour. This
throws into second place the express
from Munich to Nurem berg Oeaving
Munich at Sis a. mo- which here
Germany, with an average speed of
54.991 miles per hour. In the third
place is an express train from Berlin
to Halle with an average speed of
54.929 miles per hour, and the fourth
place is held by the express from
Freiburg to Appenweier, in Baden,
with an average speed of 52.941 miles
per hour.
The best German trains frequently
cover long distances without stop and
this particular is held by the Munich
Berlin express for the run between
Nuremberg and Halle, a distance of
1851 miles, which is covered with
out stop at an average speed of 43.19
miles per hour, in spite of the heavy
grades in crossing the Thuringian
Mountains. Other long runs without
stop are Berlin to Hamburg, 1888
miles, at an average speed of 55.18
miles per hour; Munich to Wurzburg,
172.12 miles. at 1898 miles per hour;
Berlin to Hanover, 1873 miles, at
5000 miles per hour; Schneidemuehl
to Berlin, 153.4S miles, at 5O.46 miles
per hour, and Breslau to Frankfort
on the Oder, 1910 miles, at SOFT
miles per hour.
The fastest long distance trains in
Germany are the Berlin-Hanover-
Dortmund express, which covers
292.04 miles with but three stops at
an average speed of 50.52 miles per
hour; the Oderberg-Breslau-B ex-
press, 1850 miles with four stops, at
5014 miles per hour; the Berlin
Konigsberg express, 1861 miles with
three stops, 1870 miles per hour; the
Munich-Berlin express, 419.42 miles
with two stops, at 4S.7S miles per
hour; the Berlin-Frankfort on the
Main express. 334.92 miles with five
stops, at 1880 miles per hour; the
Munich-Wurzburg-F on the
Main express, 256 miles with four
stops, at 44.93 miles per hour-Daily
