DR steam locomotive class 38 #205, Nossen
Historical steam locomotive 38 205 after arriving at Nossen on its farewell tour with special train from Chemnitz. These Saxon XII H2, also nicknamed Sächsischer Rollwagen or 'Saxon rollers' were built by Hartmann between 1910 and 1927 in Chemnitz. The design of this passenger train locomotive was carried out in parallel with that of the express train classes, the Saxon X H1 and Saxon XII H. A total of 159 examples of this powerful locomotive were built by 1922. The last ones had been withdrawn by 1971. This last surviving museum locomotive is owned by the DB Museum at Nuremberg and has been loaned to the Saxon Railway Museum in Chemnitz-Hilbersdorf. Photo taken Saturday 28 March 1998.

Historic steam locomotive 38 205 after arriving at Nossen on its farewell tour with special train from Chemnitz. 219 166 seen left.

Photo taken Saturday 28 March 1998. 17 years later it remains a heavy question if passenger rail has a future in Nossen; by the end of 2015 it is planned to cancel all passenger trains between Meißen and Döbeln via Nossen. But according to 25 years conservative government in Saxony nothing will change in traffic policy.

Plandampf_Aue_-_Markersbach_38_5205_24_2.jpg (160655 bytes)

The scarcely-used line between Schwarzenberg and Annaberg-Buchholz featured briefly in Plandampf Aue. That was on 24 February 1992, when 4-6-0 38 5205 ran a demonstration works train over the steel viaduct that crosses the village of Markersbach. This scenic route has sadly, since been closed to all traffic.
