Steam locomotive of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways (German: Harzer Schmalspurbahnen or HSB) en route from the town of Wernigerode to the Brocken (the highest point (1,141 m) of the Harz mountains).
The Harz Narrow Gauge Railways is a network of 1,000 mm gauge railways in the Harz mountains, in central Germany. It connects the principal towns of Wernigerode, Nordhausen and Quedlinburg and several smaller towns in the area with about 140 kilometres of track, much of which is steeply graded and picturesque. 
The most popular destination on the network is the Brocken, an old Soviet listening post on top of the tallest peak in the Harz mountains, accessed by a spiral railway line, the Brocken Railway. 
The railway is notable for running a significant number of its trains with steam haulage, mostly employing 1950s vintage 2-10-2 tank locomotives, hauling traditional open-platform bogie carriages.
The trains run daily to a timetable and it operates more than ten steam locomotives and seven diesel railbuses.
