Stiege Loop (HSB)
[333] (41B3 not shown, 56B1) DE11/204
A balloon loop at Stiege enables trains to run between the Alexisbad and Eisfelder Talmühle lines without reversing. Sometimes passenger trains run round it. However, there have been regular occurances of locomotives running round the loop 'light engine' and of railcar drivers changing ends.
