ndardizing DR steam
locos, numerous parts were shared with other locomotive classes. For
example, the new loco used the slightly modified boiler of the standard
gauge class 81. Of the planned series, only three locomotives were built
by Berliner Maschinenbau AG (successors of L. Schwarzkopf). They
operated on the Eisfeld-Schönbrunn line in Thuringia. Two of these locos
were transferred to Norway during World War II, where they later were
scrapped. The third locomotive, the 99 222, remained in Thuringia until
that line was closed in 1966. Then the loco was transferred to the
Harzquerbahn.
Here, the powerful locomotive has been very successful. In the 1950s, it
served as prototype for 17 new narrow gauge steam locomotives that
since then have hauled the bulk of the traffic in the Harz Mountains.
And the original 99 222 continues to pull regular trains. For a while,
it was numbered 99 7222-5 until its old number was returned after yet
another rebuild. For steam enthusiasts, experiencing this massive
locomotive on the three-percent grades of the picturesque Harzquerbahn
line is a unique and unforgettable experience.
