Trains carried on ships
Scripsit Alan Osborn
IN 2000 another Bridge/Tunnel was constructed linking Denmark with
Sweden (Malmo) which no doubts means the existing ferry between
Helsingor (Denmark) and Helsingborg (Sweden) might soon be history
It's already history as far as carrying trains go. The track to the
ferry berth at Helsingborg has been paved over, and I'm fairly certain
the track at Helsingør has been removed too.
The automobile-carrying business goes on unabated, however. Despite
the bridge, the route through Helsingør-Helsingborg is quicker and
cheaper for car journeys between most of Copenhagen and points in
Sweden north of Helsingborg.
The bridge link did kill of a number of ferry routes further south in
the Sound: The car ferries Dragør-Limhamn and Tuborg-Landskrona, as
well as the passenger-only catamarans between Copenhagen and Malmö
city centres.
