Large Steam in Wernigerode

Description

Something I don’t get to do as often as I’d like is hearing or seeing weird trains and then chasing them. This one I first followed to Vienenburg, where the engine stopped so that I couldn’t take a good picture. I was, however, able to find out where the train was heading: Wernigerode, generally known for somewhat smaller steam engines.

01 1066 is owned by one of the largest railroad clubs in Germany, the Ulmer Eisenbahnfreunde, in short UEF, although it is leased out to lots of others, such as Arbeitsgemeinschaft Westfalendampf, who organized this journey from the North Sea cost in Wilhelmshafen. The locomotive belongs to class 01.10, the most powerful and fastest mass-produced steam locomotives in Germany. Originally, the three-cylinder Pacifics were fitted with a streamline housing. After the second world war, it was no longer possible to run high speeds on the network, so the shell was removed for easier maintenance access. In the late 1950s, it was rebuilt to burn oil instead of coal, which now enables it to run with two tenders on long journeys, like here. Later, there was some renumbering and similar, but the powerful machine is now back to authentic Epoch III state.

By the way, so that nobody asks, yes, the tracks on the left are narrow-gauge, as they belong to the HSB.
