22-641: The line runs parallel to the Coast Line regional line from central Copenhagen until Klampenborg , and serves residential neighbourhoods in the eastern part of Gentofte Municipality as well as popular recreational destinations at Klampenborg such as the Dyrehavsbakken amusement park, the Jægersborg Dyrehave forest park or the Bellevue Beach . The Klampenborg Line opened in 1863 as a branch line from

44-594: A railway between Copenhagen and Helsingør (Elsinore) had been proposed since the childhood of railways. The North Line was built though Helsingør in 1864 and in 1863 the connection between Copenhagen and Klampenborg Station as a sort of daytrip and tourist route. In 1890 the Minister of the Interior , Hans Peter Ingerslev ( Conservative People's Party ), a proposition of a state railway between Klampenborg and Helsingør, but it went four years of discussion and negotiations before

66-601: A single tree was cut down. A number of citizens also were active in the debate about the choice of route and placing of stations. Because of rules decided by the Ministry of War, the railway had to go in a large curve out over the lakes to Nørrebro and onwards towards the Øresund Coast at Hellerup . Hellerup station was built in the 1860s because it was where the North Line and the Klampenborg Line split, and not because there

88-602: Is a separate railway, the Øresund Line . The railway services some well-known sights and locations such as Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk , Kronborg Castle in Elsinore , and Dyrehavsbakken in Klampenborg . Since 2023 Kystbanen has no longer been served by Øresund trains to Sweden, and is instead integrated into DSB's regional train network, with trains continuing from Copenhagen to stations on Zealand . Plans for

110-843: Is only between three and six minutes between each station, it has not been operated by S-trains . Lately the line has been operated by modern and comfortable trains, including DSB's first electric locomotives , litra EA (on the Coast Line since 1986) and the new electric regional train litra ER , started service the Coast Line in the mid 1990s. Today the main service on the line is Oresund trains that operate between Helsingør via Copenhagen and Copenhagen Airport to Malmö in Sweden and ER trains between Nivå and Kastrup . In rush hour , these trains are supplemented with higher speed commuter train operated with various stock. The replacement of steam locomotive with diesel multiple units started in 1935, but

Also see Reverser handle . A metal casting incorporating a slot that allows the casting to fit over the rail near the wheel of a derailed car. The locomotive then pushes or pulls the car so that

154-539: The Jægersborg Dyrehave forest park and the Bellevue Beach . The expectations were met: the railway was an immense success from day one. Trains on the Klampenborg Line departed from a separate station in Copenhagen, called the Klampenborg Station, located immediately north Copenhagen Central Station . In 1887, a new separate station called opened for the Klampenborg Line, and the name of the old Klampenborg station

176-463: The North Line ( Danish : Nordbanen ) between Copenhagen and Elsinore via Hillerød . The branch line was completed several months ahead of the main line , because the private railway company wanted to profit as much as possible from the summer season of 1863. The line was primarily a "picnic railway"; its terminus at Klampenborg was close to the attractions such as Dyrehavsbakken amusement park,

198-406: The surveyors could stop their work and the construction workers enter the field. The Ministry of War wanted to have a railway to Vedbæk , as long as it wasn't built so close to the coast that it could be bombarded by a foreign naval fleet in Øresund , and as long as the railway could be removed quickly. The Forestry Department didn't have any objections against the railway as long as not even

220-556: The Klampenborg radial has often been reinforced in busy periods by ring line trains continuing northwards from Hellerup. This practice has been abandoned (so far) with the 2007 timetable; instead the frequency of the main C service is doubled most of the day. Download coordinates as: Coast Line (Denmark) Kystbanen ("The Coast Line") is a regional railway line between Helsingør (Elsinore) and Copenhagen in Denmark . It

242-571: The Ministry of War was constructed as a temporary building. First 20 years later the line between Copenhagen Central Station and Østerport was taken into use, and the Coast Line got its present form on 1 December 1917. In 2007 the Danish government in cooperation with Skånetrafiken announced it would invite transportation companies to take over the Coast Line. Several European operators most notably SJ , Arriva , Connex , and DSBFirst . DSBFirst won this bid due to their plan of introducing 7-Eleven to

264-467: The line in 1934. Since then little has changed. As much of the population has moved out from the city center the Sunday traffic has become less important, but at the same time the line has gained a modest commuter patronage on weekdays. The Klampenborg radial is served by trains on service C , which stop at all stations. Before 1979 the main service to Klampenborg was service A . Historically, service on

286-483: The majority of stations, keeping the current system of permanently staffed trains, and promising better scheduling. Moreover, there was a sense that it was more convenient because DSB already had trains suited to operate under the two different volt systems used for railway electrification in Denmark and Sweden. Despite serving food and coffee for passengers on their first Monday of operation, they did not win over passengers as

308-478: The suburb of Charlottenlund , as well as the nearby Charlottenlund Palace . In 1897, the Klampenborg Line between Hellerup and Klampenborg became part of the Coast Line ( Danish : Kystbanen ) from Copenhagen to Elsinore . Over the years it became difficult to run both the local trains to Klampenborg and the Elsinore trains on the same two tracks, and a dedicated local double track from Hellerup to Klampenborg

330-416: The trains were delayed and packed. For the next few months the trains had an average delay percentage of 10, causing outcry among frequent passengers and a massive drop in rating. As of June 2009, DSBFirst managed to regain much passenger support through fewer delayed trains due to a change in timetables and better education of the train managers. The unique feature of the Coast Line is that despite that there

An example is the term railroad , used (but not exclusively) in North America , and railway , generally used in English-speaking countries outside North America and by the International Union of Railways . In English-speaking countries outside the United Kingdom, a mixture of US and UK terms may exist. Various terms, both global and specific to individual countries, are listed here. The abbreviation "UIC" refers to terminology adopted by

374-487: Was a need for a station at the place. The stretch between Østerport and Hellerup was first taken into use with the opening of the Coast Line in 1897. Østerport was the initial terminus of the line, was originally called Kystbanestationen, Østerbro, København Ø and Østbanegaarden. Architect Heinrich Wenk , who drew many of the stations on the railway, was also responsible for the Eastern Station, that after decree from

396-474: Was built in 1928. Already in 1924, an additional intermediate station , Ordrup , was opened to serve the growing suburb of Ordrup . Because of the large outing traffic (as late as 1950 Sundays were far busier than weekdays on the Klampenborg Line), the Klampenborg Line was a natural first choice when the decision to electrify the local rail traffic around Copenhagen was taken, and the first S-trains ran on

418-484: Was changed to the North station. From there, the trains used the tracks of the North Line to reach Hellerup . The original route south of Hellerup was different from the current one; see Nordbanen for details. At Hellerup , the Klampenborg Line branched of from the North Line and continued north along the coast of the Øresund strait. The line originally had only one intermediate station , Charlottenlund , which served

440-448: Was first completed in 1965. Originally the Coast Line was operated by litra K and litra O steam engines and later by litra S engines that were acquired in the 1920s. From about 1960 the main stock was the diesel electric locomotives MX , MY and later MZ and ME . Electrification of the railway started in Nivå in 1982 and was completed on 19 March 1986 when the electric operation

462-399: Was initialized with litra EA locomotives. Download coordinates as: Railway line Rail transport terms are a form of technical terminology applied to railways. Although many terms are uniform across different nations and companies, they are by no means universal, with differences often originating from parallel development of rail transport systems in different parts of

484-459: Was opened in 1897, and is one of the busiest railway lines in Denmark. Kystbanen is operated by Danish State Railways (DSB). Its original terminus was Østerport Station , but when the station was connected with Copenhagen Central Station in 1917, the terminus moved there. When the Øresund Bridge opened in 2000, service extended to Malmö in Sweden , though the section between Copenhagen and Malmö
