The traditionszug of the HSB in its characteristic green livery and Mallet steam locomotive NWE 11 (99 5901, exactly 100 years old!) crosses a train from Harzgerode to Gernrode. The traditionszug was being towed back to Wernigerode by a diesel locomotive (not seen on the picture). The day before it had operated an extra train because of the festivities for "100 years Mallet locomotives in the Harz area". Alexisbad, 10/02/1997.
