The Brocken Train in Wernigerode

The old steam train and carriages waiting at Wernigerode Station.

We had a wonderful Saturday on this narrow gauge railway, that runs from Wernigerode, a small town with many typically German half timbered houses, up to the top of the Brocken, the highest point in the Harz mountains, and the place of many German legends.

There is a link to Wikipedia, which will give you all the information.  If it does not work, please cup and paste the link into a search.

Watching the engine snake up the track to the Brocken.

Stopping for water and a quick polish.
