Helsingor, Hillerod & Fredriksborg Castle, 3 Sept 1984
In 1984, my Air National Guard unit sent several of us to a NATO exercise in Karup, Denmark. I had a Eurailpass and used it as much as I could, which was a fair bit as we had weekends off, plus every other weekday.
On my last weekend in Denmark before the exercise finished and we returned to Wiesbaden, Germany, I caught the overnight train from Fredrikshavn, the end of the line in North Jutland, to Copenhagen. Starting at Fredrikshavn gave me the longest time to sleep on the train and I don't even remember the train being switched onto the Great Belt ferry.
I don't seem to have taken any photos that morning at Copenhagen Central station as my pictures seem to start at Helsingor, which in English is Hamlet's twon of Elsinor. Before the bridge from Copenhagen to Malmo was built, the ferries from Helsingor to Helsinborg were the way trains got from Denmark to Sweden. There is still a car ferry service, but the trains these days don't have to go sailing.
In 1984, I did get to watch switch engines putting cars onto and off of a ferry. There was also an MY in old paint, an ME, and the reason I made a point of coming to Helsingor, an MO DMU train.
I think I'd read in Continental Railway Journal that the last MOs were running out of Helsingor. The Jutland local trains were all MR sets. Rather than exiling the old cars to a far corner of the country, the MOs were running just north of the capital.
I rode one, 1880, to Hillerod, which is the station for Fredriksborg Castle. I took a break from train watching and riding to tour the castle and took some photos. The interiors are spectacular, but it was not too practical to photograph them with Kodachrome 64.
The day would continue in Copenhagen...
