99.222 made a suitably spectacular departure from Drei Annen Hohne with train 8941, the 12:00 to Brocken, on 11 October 2015.
The loco was working the days most demanding diagram on 11 October 2015, involving two return trips from Wernigerode to Brocken and a fill in trip from Brocken to Drei Annen Hohne and back as well. That's almost 8000 feet of vertical climb and, as it was a sunny weekend, the trains were particularly heavily loaded. Not bad for an 84 year old machine.
