99.222 is easily distinguishable from the post-war 2-10-2Ts as it has a small tubular feedwater heater instead of the large boxy heater on the newer engines. It was fitted with a larger heater in 1973 but it was removed in 1999, restoring the engine to something close to it's original appearance. The loco emerged from the trees near the summit with train 8920, the 10:24 from Nordhausen, on 12 October 2015.
