German steam... Type 50 steam pulling freight wagons...

I believe its a DR Class 50.35-37 as the video says it's "Locomotive 50 3708-0."

According to Google Translate the video's caption reads:

Locomotive 50 3708-0 is equipped with a mixed freight train traveling from Blankenburg Nord on Wegeleben and Wernigerode to Halberstadt Spiegelsberge . You can see the freight , among others at the exit in Halberstadt Spiegelsberge . The pictures were taken at the photo event " Golden Autumn 2005" .
 
The BR 50 3708 shown in the video above is owned by the society "Traditionsgemeinschaft 50 3708-0". I think this loco was previously used by Deutsche Reichsbahn (the state-railway of eastern Germany until 1989). The Class 50 was one of the general servants locos, therefore it was used to pull passenger ans rail freight trains.
