BROCKENBAHN (WERNIGERODE – BROCKEN)

Route description
Located in Saxony-Anhalt, the route begins on the section of the Harzquerbahn in the colorful city on the Harz: Wernigerode. Known for its well-preserved old town with its colorful half-timbered houses and the imposing Wernigerode Castle. It is a popular tourist destination and offers visitors a picturesque setting as well as a variety of leisure and recreational opportunities amidst the natural beauty of the Harz Mountains.

Wernigerode station with locomotive depot: turntable, locomotive shed, water crane and coal bunker.

The route continues through the Wernigerode town area, past numerous gardens to the Wernigerode Hochschule Harz stop, behind which the train winds through the narrow Kirchstraße like a streetcar.

Via the station Wernigerode Hasserode it goes to the station Steinerne Renne, from here the route goes steeply uphill towards Drei Annen Hohne.

Now the Harzquerbahn meanders a few kilometers through the beautiful forest landscape, through the only tunnel in the Thumenkuhlenthal, via the service station Drängetal to cross trains to the station Drei Annen Hohne.

The station Drei Annen Hohne is located at 585 m above sea level and is the crossing point of the Harzquer – and Brockenbahn. Here we leave the line in the direction of Schierke, while the other section of the line continues to Nordhausen.

Lights
The locomotive has cab lights, instrument lights, head signals, and power unit lights. For the function of the lights the switched on alternator is necessary for the power supply. At scenario start this is always switched off.

Brakes

• Train brake: The train brake has the following stages: Release, Hold, Apply and Emergency Brake. It is a single-release brake that always returns to the hold position. This allows an optimal adjustment of the pressure in the brake cylinder to hold the speed, e.g. when going downhill, by applying and releasing the brake.
• Locomotive brake : This only acts on the locomotive itself and is in the release position by default.

Whistles:
The locomotive has several short departure whistles as well as longer whistles, which are randomly controlled from several whistles.
