Line no. 19 has been established 3 times! The first line no. 19
began running in 1921, nearly at the same route as line no. 6 and
line no. 8 did later. Already in 1927 the line was closed.
In 1933 the number was used again, but now for a bus line, the
later line no. 29. The bus line was closed in May 1940 because of
the 2nd World War, during which Denmark was occupied.
In December 1943, a new line no. 19 was established as an electric
streetcar line. Like line no. 11 it should take a part of the passengers
using line no. 5 and line no. 16.

There was a linenumber 19X too.
The streetcars had nearly the same route as the line 19,
except they had a special stop just beside a railroad station.
The idea was to make it easier for people to come to the
city.
|
The line was not a success and was
only running from October 1952 to the end of January 1958. |
|
The last day for the line to be a streetcar line was October
the 31st 1964.
The nickname of the line was:
The Prairie Schooner because the line was passing
a part of Copenhagen called the Prairie,.the only place, where
a streetcar line was not mixed up with any other traffic.
