Icn (Sbb-cff-ffs)The ICN (short for Intercity-Neigezug, German for Intercity Tilting Train), Series SBB RABDe 500, is a Swiss high-speed train which debuted on May 28, 2000, in time for Expo.02 held in western Switzerland in 2002. The ICN runs often with two complete compositions, each with seven carriages, including a dining car. Four of the seven carriages are second class. In first class, some compartments feature electric power supply sockets and mobile phone reception enhancers. The ICN came into service with a delay caused by the lack of supplies from ADtranz. Nevertheless, its rolling stock was fully in use by the time of the expo, and now there is enough rolling stock to let it be used on more than one line at the same time. The ICN is run by Swiss Federal Railways. Pricing for train tickets carries no surcharges.
