Evaluation of Rail Operations in the Harz Region: Steam-powered trains seem improbable
The Harz Narrow Gauge Railways, a beloved attraction carrying around one million passengers each year, are set for significant changes, as suggested by consultancy firm SCI Verkehr. The company will provide more details about these changes this afternoon.
For several years, the railways have been operating at a loss. This urgent need for modernization has been evident, with both the vehicles and infrastructure in need of an update.
The operator of the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen, Harzer Schmalspurbahnen GmbH (HSB), plans to implement measures aimed at reducing losses and modernizing the railway line. However, specific planned measures from the analysis by SCI Verkehr are not yet detailed.
One notable change is the phasing out of steam locomotives, as they have no future in the current setup. The modernization of the railways is considered crucial to ensure their continued operation and success.

Stay tuned for further details about the modernization process, which will be disclosed by the company this afternoon. The Harz Narrow Gauge Railways, a cherished part of Germany's railway heritage, are poised to enter a new era.
