Harzer Schmallspurbahn #99246 takes an "up" train through the woods above Schierke |
Description: |
Locomotive has a 2-10-2T arrangement with relatively small diameter driving wheels. Small diameter for a shorter wheelbase to negotiate very sharp curvature on this line & the need for drawbar pull on the 3% + grades. |

The doubleheaded Malletts depart for the summit |
Description: |
Seeing these locomotives was an unexpected bonus for me. They aren't the usual motive power for trains up the Brocken. I got to see them because I happened to visit the Harzer Schmallspurbahn on a day when they were pulling a chartered railfan special train. |

HSB 997240-7 leads a "down" train above Schierke |
Description: |
After riding to the summit of the Brocken, we hiked down to the village of Schierke from the summit. There's a well-maintained walking path that parallels the Brockenbahn for much of the way, affording me the opportunity to grab shots of passing trains during my walk down the mountain. |
