Only about thirty to thirty five years ago steam locomotives were a common 
sight and regular means of transport in East Germany. I rememember driving 
in them when I was a kid.

Then, here in Germany, there still is at least one railroad with two 
steamers still working - the "Harzquerbahn".

There is a webcam that is updated on every train's arrival. Sometimes you 
see the steamer, sometimes its a plain train.
