Harzer Schmalspurbahnen 99 7232-4 (built in the mid-1950s) heading down from the Brocken summit (1140 m above sea level) with one of the regular passenger services on this part of the 1000 mm gauge network in the Harz Mountains.<br><br>[Norman Glen 21/09/2016]](/images/56000/56874.jpg "Brocken")
![Harzer Schmalspubahnen (HSB) locomotive 99 5901, built in 1897, is the oldest locomotive still in service on the HSB. Although it is no longer used for scheduled services, it still hauls specials, such as this one up to the Brocken Summit (1140 m above sea level) on the 1000 mm gauge HSB system.<br><br>[Norman Glen 21/09/2016]](/images/56000/56945.jpg "Brocken")
![Harzer Schmalspurbahnen (HSB) locomotive 99 7239-9, built in the mid 1950's, running around its train at Drei Annen Hohne station prior to hauling the seven carriage set back up the 1000 mm track to the Brocken Summit (1140 m above sea level). All the services on the Brocken section of the HSB are steam-hauled, mainly by the 99 72xx series locomotives.<br><br>[Norman Glen 22/09/2016]](/images/57000/57000.jpg "Drei Annen Hohne")
![Harzer Schmalspurbahnen (HSB) 99 7232-4 on the ascent to the Brocken summit (1140 m above sea level). These locomotives, 99 7231 to 99 7247, were built in the mid-1950s, converted to oil-burning in the late 1970s, then returned to coal burning soon thereafter! The metre-gauge HSB system consists of the Harzerquerbahn, the Selketalbahn and the Brockenbahn. At its peak, pre First World War, the Harz region had a narrow-gauge (1000mm) rail network of 200 km.<br><br>[Norman Glen 11/10/2016]](/images/56000/56862.jpg "Brocken")

At its peak, just before the First World War, there was just over 200 km of interconnected 1000 mm gauge track in the Harz Mountains.<br><br>[Norman Glen 12/10/2016]](/images/56000/56882.jpg "Brocken Summit")
