Jysk-Fyenske Jernbaner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jysk-Fyenske Jernbaner ( JFJ ) was a Danish railway company founded by the state in 1867. The company was responsible for rail operations on Jutland and on the island of Funen .

history

While the lines on Zealand were laid out and operated as private railways in the early days of the railway , the Danish state was responsible for the construction of the lines in Jutland and Funen. The state delegated this task to the English consortium Peto, Brassey and Betts .

The corresponding railway lines were decided under the Railway Act of March 10, 1861 . The concessions for the routes were issued on March 18 of the same year. The private company Det Danske Jernbanedriftsselskab was founded to operate the routes .

The company had major financial problems to keep operations going. After only five years, on March 11, 1866, the Det Danske Jernbanedriftsselskab went bankrupt after members of the consortium got into financial problems during an economic crisis in England .

The Danish government tried to keep the company through a takeover by Det Sjællandske Jernbaneselskab , but this failed. In order to preserve society, the state took over it itself.

Through the Railway Act of March 14, 1867 and the amendments by the Railway Act of November 26, 1868 , the Railway Act of December 9, 1871 and the Railway Act of March 20, 1876 , the state remained responsible for the operation of De Jysk – Fynske Jernbaner (JFJ) responsible.

When Det Danske Jernbanedriftsselskab was taken over on September 1, 1867, the following routes were completed: Nyborg – Odense – Middelfart – Strib , Fredericia – Vamdrup – Farris , Århus – Langå – Randers and Langå – Struer – Holstebro .

De Danske Statsbaner i Jylland-Fyn

The company name was changed to De Danske Statsbaner i Jylland-Fyn or De Jysk-Fynske Statsbaner for short in 1874 after the Danish state had finally decided that the company should remain in state hands. The expansion of the rail network was continued under the state company.

In 1880 Det Sjællandske Jernbaneselskab was taken over into state ownership. This and JFJ remained independent under state control with their own organizations until they were merged in 1885 to form Danske Statsbaner (DSB).

JFJ steam locomotives

The company procured its own locomotives for its division. When Jysk-Fyenske Jernbaner and Det Danske Jernbanedriftselskab merged on September 1, 1867, the locomotives came to the newly founded Danske Statsbaner . The amalgamation of the machine departments in the different parts of the country did not take place until 1892, so that the DSB series designations were valid from 1893.
