HANNOVER AND THE HARZ

Electric Freights and Steam Passengers

Germany - 15 to 24 February 2017 - Report by Duncan Cotterill

INTRODUCTION

A late February trip to northern Germany in the hope of getting some snow and sunshine. The principal destination was the metre gauge Harzer Schmalspurbahnen, running through the Harz Mountains on the former East/West German border. The report also covers my modern traction activities before and after the main part of the trip.

This page contains details of the locos and trains observed during the trip. Multiple units have been omitted. The main report, which is more descriptive and illustrated, can be accessed here.

KEY :
pp after loco number = propelling,
text in [square brackets] after loco number = VKM (vehicle keeper mark - list here) together with country code if not German registered.
No VKMs are listed for incumbent operators, i.e. DB on the main line and HSB on the Harz system.
