Description

Triebwagen 187 017 der Harzer Schmalspurbahn zwischen den Bahnhöfen Eisfelder Talmühle und Netzkater.

Die Harzer Schmalspurbahnen GmbH (HSB) in Wernigerode ist eine Eisenbahngesellschaft, die ein zirka 140 km langes Netz von zumeist dampfbetriebenen Schmalspurstrecken im Harz betreibt. Es handelt sich heute um das längste zusammenhängende, dampfbetriebene Streckennetz in Europa. Dieses Netz mit der Spurweite von 1000 mm (Meterspur) besteht aus den drei Strecken: Harzquerbahn, Selketalbahn und Brockenbahn. Auch die Anfangsbuchstaben der Strecken ergeben das Kürzel der Bahngesellschaft – HSB.

The Harz Narrow Gauge Railways (German: Harzer Schmalspurbahnen) or HSB is a network of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) 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 network is currently operated by the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen GmbH, whose members are chiefly the various local authorities whose territories it serves.
