Cab Ride Copenhagen – Padborg (DSB, Denmark) train driver’s view 4K

In this video you can enjoy the cab ride – train driver’s view on the DSB train from Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark to Padborg on the German border along The Copenhagen–Fredericia railway/Taulov line and Fredericia – Flensburg railway line in 4K/60 frames per second.

Our journey leads us along the Copenhagen–Fredericia/Taulov Line, the Danish railway line between the capital, Copenhagen, and the Jutland peninsula through the islands of Zealand and Funen. It has a length of about 220 kilometres (140 mi). Being one of the main arteries of the Danish railway network, it has a double track and is fully electrified. The line is composed of the railway line across Zealand (the West Line) and the main line across Funen (the Funen Main Line), both built during the mid-19th century. Originally connected by the Great Belt ferries, these two lines were joined in 1997 by the Great Belt Fixed Link.

After Frederica our journey continues along the Fredericia–Padborg railway line (Danish: Fredericia-Padborg-banen), 110.6 kilometres (68.7 mi) long railway line in Denmark which runs through the historical region of Southern Jutland between the city of Fredericia and the German border at Padborg. Being one of the main arteries of the Danish railway network, the standard gauge and fully electrified railway line is double track except for the section between Tinglev and Padborg which is single track. The railway line constitutes the southernmost part of the East Jutland longitudinal railway line (Danish: Den Østjyske Længdebane), the through route along the east coast of the Jutland Peninsula from the port city of Frederikshavn in North Jutland to the German border at Padborg, where it connects to the Flensburg–Padborg railway line and the German railway network.

The Padborg-Flensburg line was electrified on 2 June 1996 with the usual German voltage of 15,000 volts 16⅔ Hz. The Fredericia-Padborg line followed on 1 April 1997 with the usual Danish voltage of 25,000 volts 50 Hz. There is a de-energised section at Padborg station to separate the two systems. Cross-border trains must be able to handle both power systems.

I would like to thank the DSB for allowing me to record this video and for all the valuable help from the staff.

  1. Bro!! I have been waiting for this complete route to appear on Youtube for such a long time. If you could have gone all the way to Hamburg it would have been God Tier. Thanks so much for this. I lived in CPH for 10 years and always wanted to have this cab view all the way to the border and beyond. You're the best. Keep doing what you are doing.

  2. In video = SJÆLØR STATION is spelled Slælør or something, and KØBEHNAVN SYD should be København Syd. + RØDVORE STATION should be Rødovre Station. " LITTLE BELT BRIDGE" in danish is "Lillebælts broen" Very nice video though.

  3. Too much information at a time and they only need to be displayed for a few seconds. Didn't watch the video to the end, it was too much.
    Remove it and I'll subscribe right away 😊

  4. Fortsetter toget mot Hamburg, eller bytter man til et tysk togsett? Bytter man i så tilfelle til tysk fører? Må en dansk fører kunne snakke tysk, muligens aktuelt ved overlevering av togsett?

  5. Epic trip RR, never seen this before, really enjoyed it. Would like some more Denmark routes, if possible. Well done, thanks.

  6. Danemark! David Sousa strikes the Scandinavian landscape! Well done! Congratulations! It starts from the red brick Hoved Banegard, a bit like almost all DSB stations and we see the railway quadrupling up to Roskilde! All well done, all well detailed with the S-Tog lines up to Taastrup. Did you know that the history of the electrification of the Danish railways is quite recent? They started in 1979 and thought about the suburban lines of Copenhagen (for the Danes København, merchants' port) and then the flagship line to Padborg! Another spectacular route would be the one to Stockholm, passing through the ØresundBridge and then towards Sweden! Mark it down and if you do, it would be spectacular! The line after Kolding loses a bit of interest and goes into the rural landscape of Yutland, but the typical Danish trains are beautiful! I didn't know they were called Rubber Noses! The shape is unmistakable. I also saw material from AnsaldoBreda, which is the same company that built the Kobenhavn Metro, but I know that DSB had legal disputes with the Italian company due to malfunctions on the IC4s. Speaking of Denmark you mentioned the Roskilde festival and the Fehmarn Tunnel. They are talking about it in Germany! That tunnel would cut the route to Hamburg by almost 2 hours! Pharaonic project! If it goes on like this they will also build the railway tunnel between Poland and Sweden in a few years! The Danish railways are almost always diesel. Who knows why? The second city of the country is Aarhus where they recently built an eco-sustainable tram-metro line, the Aarhus Letbane. Well done David! I saw that they built the high-speed line but what trains do they use? The German ICEs? Good job! Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. lovely trip through our little country 🙂 Of completely unnecessary FYI: Up until the reunification of Slesvig in 1920, Rødekro was the last stop (aka border station) between Denmark and Germany, but the lovely station that was built after the loss to Germany in 1864 was replaced by the current monstrosity in 1969

    just a couple minor corrections: the IC3 trains are litra MF, the ER4/IR4 trains are litra ER, and they were built by Scandia with the electronics and drivetrain made by ABB, so not exactly ABB. Scandia was incidentally bought by Bombadier, which is why the EF trains (Øresunds trains) are made by Bombadier, but look very similar, albeit not electronically compatible. Also the S-trains are litra SA and SE – SA are 80 meter EMU, SE are 40 meter EMU, and they're often coupled together to make 1.5 length trains. And just while we're at the S-trains, on line F (the ring line) they only run SE units because some of the stations are too short to fit a 40 meter train and instead they run in 5 minutes intervals, but the SE that run on line F have different interior than the ones used on other lines. Basically on the other lines, only two of the half length wagons has proper seating while the other two had all the seats replaced by a bike rack, which is great when you want to bring your bike or love to stand, but not so great when you have to travel far in rush hour

  9. Very nice to see the railways in my neighbour country from the cab! Very different from Sweden, especially the signals which makes absolutely no sense to me as a Swedish driver! WHat is the reason for the odd and very slow routing out of Copenhagen, instead of just going directly onto the Vestbanen?

  10. Das diese Dieseldinger doch recht schnell sind, obwohl die einen cw-Wert eines Nilpferdes haben. Vor 20 Jahren bin ich mit so einem, aber mit E-Antrieb nach Kopenhagen gefahren. Der fuhr denn erst ab Tinglev.
    Davon abgesehen ist das eine schöne Gegend zum Anschauen. Damals war auf der gesamten Strecke nach Kopenhagen so ein Nebel, das man nie etwas sehen konnte. Auch auf der Rückfahrt.

  11. This does not at all look like a recorded video from a real-life train-ride. It is more likely that is a recorded train-ride in a simulator game. BUT it LOOKS very realistic, were it not for the scarcity commuters on the stations during daytime.

  12. Super ! Malgré un ciel gris et un peu de pluie, ça reste agréable. Le traffic ferroviaire est très élevé au Danemark, beaucoup de trains, visiblement, la population l'utilise massivement. J'avais fait ce constat lors de ma visite là bas il y a quelques années, même si on était restés dans la région de Copenhague/Elsener/Roskilde. Par contre, je dois dire que la qualité du matériel roulant ne m'a pas impressionnée. Le train que nous avions entre Roskilde et Copenhague était une rame automotrice diésel très bruyante avec une motorisation particulièrement désagréable qui donnait des accélération assez saccadées, un peu comme une véhicule routier avec des changements de rapport. En fait, le Danemark était assez en retard pour ce qui est de l'électrification en comparaison des autres pays Européens. Et pour ce qui est du design de certains trains, il est affreux, je pense justement à ceux que vous qualifiez de "rubber nose".
