The final section of the line up the Brocken is in the form of a spiral with the line circling the summit one and a half times.
99.7240 was photographed around 1km from the top, working train 8941, the 12:00 from Drei Annen Hohne, around the spiral on 12 October 2015. On the left, there's a view down onto the plains, shrouded in haze.
