We visited mountain peak Brocken next morning on Harz Railways. On this mountain peak is situated hononymic end station of the Brockenbahn which begins in station Drei Annen Hohne. This day was falling rainy weather. We started in station Wernigerode, which is together station of DB. In spite of weather was train almost full. And next passengers got aboard in others stations.

The mountain peak Brocken with altitude above sea level 1.141 meters was under the mantle of cloud. Gruffly, chilly, poor visibility, conditions for photographing were not essential. So we photo only relay of steam locomotive and we left back this same train (now with No. 8932). Maybe sometimes next time ...
Advantage was fully empty train, because all passengers refreshed oneself in the station buffet.
