European high-speed equipment, such as the TGV and ICE is double-
ended. A number of major European stations, such as Frankfurt am
Main and Munich, Germany, are stub-end. Yet, the ICE high-speed
trains manage five-minute station stops and throw in a crew
change, to boot.

The arriving engineer brings the train into the station and waits
in his cab. The departing engineer waits at the far end of the
platform. When the train comes to a stop, he boards the engine
and contacts the arriving engineer via internal intercom. At this
point the arriving engineer switches his engine to remote operation
and detrains. The departing engineer switches the engine at his
end to local control and waits for a departure signal.
