Eins dampflokomotive, eins packwagen, und sieben personenwagen round the "S" curve west of the pedestrian/bicycle overpass and above the Ochsenteichstraße which tunnels beneath the track. At this point the train is about halfway between Wernigerode and Westerntor stations. There are several ballast hoppers located below the cloud of steam from the locomotive. These are standard gauge cars riding on a low narrow gauge flat car called a rollbockwagen. At the very top of the photo you can barely make out three dark smudges on top of the mountain. These are the two structures and television antenna at Brocken, the destination for this train, at an elevation of 1,125 metres (3,691 feet).
