The NS class ICM (InterCityMaterieel) is an electric multiple unit for fast, comfortable intercity service. They are popularly called Koploper (literally head runners) because of the transitions at the front of the carriages. The driver’s cab is located in a panoramic pulpit above the crossing, which gives these coaches a very beefy appearance and is as typical of the Netherlands as Dutch cheese. Until 2005 it was possible to change from one part of the train to the other during the journey.1983 Talbot in Aachen started the series production of a three-part railcar, type designated as ICM-1, train no. 4011-4050.
