Скачать или смотреть Brockenbahn - Narrow Gauge Railway with steam locomotive

Normally I only make model rail videos, but this is an exception. A small selection of clips from my trip on the German narrow gauge railway - Brockenbahn. The railway has a track gauge of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in).

In this video the train runs from Drei Annen Hohne Station and to the summit of The Brocken (The Witches mountain) on a cloudy day.

On the way back, the train has to wait in a small siding for a passing train bound for the top.

The Brocken, also sometimes referred to as the Blocksberg, is the highest peak of the Harz mountain range and also the highest peak of Northern Germany. Although its elevation of 1,141 metres (3,743 ft) is below alpine dimensions, its microclimate resembles that of mountains of about 2,000 m (6,600 ft).

The Brocken has always played a role in legends and has been connected with witches and devils; Johann Wolfgang von Goethe took up the legends in his play Faust. The Brocken spectre is a common phenomenon on this misty mountain, where a climber's shadow cast upon fog creates eerie optical effects.
