Fichtelbergbahn
From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere
The Fichtelbergbahn is a 750 mm (2 ft 51⁄2 in) gauge narrow gauge railway leads from the standard gauge international line at Cranzahl to the ski resort of Oberwiesenthal. The line provides some good mountain views and affords several famous opportunities for photography of the steam locomotives such as the wooden viaduct at the approach to Oberwiesenthal. The mainline at Cranzahl has had an interrupted service due to the poor quality of the track between Saxony and Bohemia. It is scheduled for restoration soon (now 2006).
