Brocken

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.
