--- Quote from: DrRox on December 01, 2012, 07:39:50 PM ---A couple of interesting trains.
1) high speed ICE train....from Interlaken to Berlin. Leaves Interlaken Ost at 7:00pm arrives in Berlin Hbf at 7:19 am.
2) Night sleep train from Zurich to Berlin. Leaves Zurich Hbf at 7:42 pm and arrives at Berlin Hbf at 7:19 am. Teams would have to get to Zurich from Interlaken on Swiss Inter-Regional trains first.
The two trains follow different routes. The ICE train goes all the way north to Hannover, then turns east to Berlin. The Night Sleeper turns in Frankfurt and goes NE to Berlin.
I didn't look for other times......just entered 1800 in the German Rail website to look for possible trains. If we had some more finite times, we can probably get a better idea on exact trains. But the potential for a rolling pit stop does exist.

Odd that checkin time was so late then. But I LOVE train legs!
DrRox:
Well, I am assuming that they arrived in Zurich on the Swissair flight.......then took train to Interlaken......did the leg and got checked in. Peach suggested a rolling pit stop on a train. I just put 6 pm into the schedule system.
From Interlaken on the high speed connection, there are trains about every hour, close to the hour till midnight. Then start up again in the morning.
If they are instructed to go to Zurich to take that night sleeper train, then they have a 2 hour trip to Zurich from Interlaken. Those trains run about every 30 minutes.
I am assuming 2 legs, one in Switzerland and one in Berlin.
apskip:
I will assume that the teams were ready to return from Berlin to the U.S. today. Which flights might they take?
There is only one nonstop to the eastern half of the U.S.:
UA97 TXL 1034 1417, which landed in Newark just over one hour ago at gate B61.
