This second last shot against the light up on the Brocken is probably the best shot possible in the center of germany! Great Job!

[@BrickishRail]

Some wonderful shots, look like you guys had a good time. Definately a bucket list railway for me!

Great Video. Is it a working railway or a preserved tourist steam line like we have over here? Would love to go one day.

It's run by a private company so very much a Paignton and Dartmouth model.

They are part of German public transport and operate on a normal timetable. The Harzquerbahn and Selketalbahn lines that they operate are used by locals to commute or go to school etc. Those 2 lines are also now included in the "Deutschlandticket" / 49€ Ticket that gives access to local public transport in the whole country for a flat fee of 49€ per month. The Brockenbahn to the summit of the Brocken is not included. That line is mainly used by tourists to go up to the summit of the Brocken and there is no real use for daily commutes etc. Still on a regular timetable though. It's also afaik the only one of the 3 lines that is exclusively run by Steam locos. The other ones you may also get Diesel.
