Frederikshavn-Skagen Railway (FSJ) was a private railway company in northern Jutland, Denmark, operating between 1890 and 1924 a narrow-gauge railway line between Skagen and Frederikshavn. History
In 1889 the construction of a meter-long trajectory between Skagen and Frederikshavn began. The rails weighed only 12.5 kg / m and the maximum speed was 30 km / h. The line was opened by the FSJ on July 24, 1890. Two days from Skagen to Frederikshaven and back. Already extra trains were already used in the first summer. In addition, goods traffic took place, especially shipping.
The line proved to be a great success and between 1921 and 1924 the line was converted to normal track with 24.39 kg / m rails. In 1924, the normal trajectory was transferred to the Skagen jobs, after which the FSJ was lifted. In preparation for the forthcoming conversion to normal track, railroad work at the end of the narrow-track period has already been used for longer crossings, so that only a rail had to be shifted in the conversion. Equipment
In the course of time, the FSJ has had a total of eight steam locomotives, eight carriages, five post and luggage vehicles and 40 freight cars. Most of the equipment was subsequently sold to other railway companies, where it was sometimes converted to another track. None of the FSJ's original narrow-track equipment has been preserved.
