How many train routes does DB run?
2 of the routes in this atlas are DB services, covering 348 km across 1 country (Germany). That is what this atlas draws, not the operator's whole network — a national railway runs thousands of local services no map of notable journeys would list.
What is the fastest DB train?
The Marschbahn, Hamburg to Westerland, at up to 140 km/h. Its fastest scheduled run takes 2 h 55 min over 235 km.
Does DB run night trains?
Not in this atlas. All 2 DB routes listed here are daytime services.
When was DB founded?
Wikidata records the company's inception as 1994, and files it as a concern. The oldest railway it runs over in this atlas opened in 1871 — the line and the company are rarely the same age, and this page dates both.
