It actually does travel at 300 kmph on the Frankfurt-Siegburg/Bonn route; likewise, 250 kmph is also quite common with the ICE, for instance on the Berlin-Wolfsburg route. So, it's not quite doom-and-gloom. Just wanted to correct Mugros’s comment about the ICE.

It's the exact same picture of DC that google uses. If you use Google Earth, however, you can zoom in even more. The problem with MSN is that in many cases (most notably NYC) they have older pictures than Google. MSN just lets you zoom in more than Google Maps.

On good tracks the train does about 200 km/h. There are some high speed tracks but they seldom allow max speed. And there are several tracks where the ICE is much slower than 200 km/h. The TGV is the better high speed train in europe. The ICE in germany looks good on the paper but the reality differs greatly. On good tracks the train does about 200 km/h.

I'll try and find nice pics to show. Marsh is right : many high speed train (300+ km/h) lines cover France:
