Harzer Schmalspurbahnen locomotive 99 7239-9 (built in the mid 1950s, converted to oil burning in the late 1970s, then back to coal soon thereafter) approaching the Brocken Summit station (1140 m above sea level) on the 1000 mm gauge HSB system with the first up train of the day. 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.
