DB had "working" narrow-gauge steam in the former east until the lines
were sold off in the mid-2000s - perhaps a bit of a grey area how "real"
it was, but they were regular timetabled services with were normal
passengers as well as anoraks.


There are still some (narrow gauge) lines with regular steam traction,
but those lines are not owned by DB.

Mostly tourist lines, like the one on the Brocken, or at the Baltic sea
cost.


The one on the outskirts of Dresden was less touristy when I did it at
the tail end of DB days (2003, I think).
