⚡ hype up the latest ICE train facility construction set to commence in 2024, right in the heart of Dortmund 🔥
Accelerate your ride! Deutsche Bahn, reigning superheroes of the German railway world, are going all-in on their newest ICE center—right here in Dortmund! The brilliant minds behind DB have snagged the green light from the Federal Railway Authority, clearing the way for this monumental endeavor. Board member Michael Peterson shared his enthusiasm, stating, "Brace yourselves, folks, for an exhilarating leap in rail travel across Deutschland!" The official groundbreaking ceremony, a kickoff to be remembered, is slated for later this year. Get ready to cheer as hundreds of passionate builders team up to construct this magnificent ICE hub.
With a hefty budget of over 400 million euros, the new ICE plant is expected to take flight by 2027, charting a course for around 500 fresh jobseekers to join the DB family!
Construction plans for this giant have been floating around for some time now. The glorious 25-hectare construction site, located within the Westfalia freight yard (yep, owned by DB!), rests just a stone's throw away from the bustling Dortmund harbor. With our beloved DB already claiming ownership, you can be sure that this project will be lightning-fast!
DB's new ICE facility in Dortmund will soon be joining the galaxy of the fleet, sparking the need for additional maintenance and parking spaces to accommodate the ever-expanding ICE family.
Keep an eye out for updates, as by the end of the decade, we predict the ICE fleet's interstellar rise to boast a staggering 450 paradigm-shifting trains, taking over from the current 400.
