Danmarks Jernbanemuseum - Denmark The Røde Lyntog express train with motor cars MS 401 and 402 was built in 1935 when the Little Belt bridge was opened, with much reduced travelling time from Copenhagen to Jylland. Odense, 20-08-2022 Photo by Marco van Uden |
Interior of a first class compartment in DSB AA 431, the middle
car of the MS 401 / 402 trainset built 1935 by Frichs as one of
four units. These units introduced the "Lyntog" category and
significantly shortened travel times between København
and the mainland (Kronjyden to Aalborg, Vestjyden to Esbjerg
and Østjyden to Aarhus), passing a bridge over
Lillebælt and going on a ferry over Storebælt.
The middle car had six first class compartments in the middle
and two second-class compartments on both ends. The last regular
service was in 1973 as "Neptun" from København via the
Gedser - Warnemünde ferry to Berlin.

Interior of a second class compartment in DSB AA 431, the middle
car of the MS 401 / 402 trainset. Most of second class was in the
end cars, plus two 8-seat compartments at both ends of the middle
car, so first class passengers didn't hear the noises from the
wheels. Until 1956 this was "fællesklasse", a class between
the old second and third class, equivalent to the new second
class after the European class reform.

trainset built 1935 by Frichs as one of four "Lyntog" units.
Originally this was "fællesklasse", a class cheaper than old
second but more expensive than old third class. This two-class
system was generalized in Europe in 1956.

DSB Litra Ms and DSB Litra Ma 460 at the Railway Museum in Odense. Litra Ms
was the first lyntog ("lightning train") in Denmark, and it was buildt in
1935, when the first bridge over Lillebælt was opend. I 1963 it was replaced
by Litra Ma, whitch was derived from the german VT11.5, later 601. Litra Ma
was withdrawn from service few years ago, and some of them has been sold to
Poland. Originaly had Litra Ma a bright red livery, but in the later years
they were painted silver, whith gave them the nickname "The Silver Arrow".
