The History of Danish Railways 1950 -

After the WW2 many minor railroads are closed down, specialy the private ones.

In 2001 only 12 private railroads are still in operation and only the manor government railroads are left back.

The old steamers are replaced by diesel locomotives so the sound and smell of a steamer can only be found at the preserved railway lines, which can be found around the country.

A bridge and a tunnel are opened between Zealand and Funen in 1998. It is reducing the time used for travel between east- and west-Denmark with 1 hour.

July the 1st 2000 Sweden and Denmark were connected by a bridge. You can take the train and go to Rønne at Bornholm in less than 3 hours - a trip which before the bridge took at least 6 hours.
