Deutsche Bahn

Deutsche Bahn is sliding through green Bavarian countryside on a fall afternoon. On a large glass window scenes of idyllic German villages and towns are passing by in breathtaking speed and quietness. The Sun is playing hide and seek among clouds and when it comes out fully, everything outside livens up -- the gentle slopes of fields on the horizon and toy like farmhouses. When it goes out the same scene looks so drab and gray.

There's no sound in coach except the chatter of countryside housewives sitting across the isle and an occasional holler from a beverage hawker pacing that isle. There is a strong sense of being carried along.
