The Marie was a single-track Danish steam train ferry and was designed by DSB at Burmeister & Wain ordered. She was delivered with the construction number 157 on April 16, 1890.
Calls
The railway ferry was built for the Fredericia – Strib ferry route across the Little Belt on the København – Fredericia railway line . There she supported the steam ferry Valdemar from 1890 . The Marie was equipped as an icebreaker.
The ferry connection across the Little Belt was given up with the commissioning of Lillebæltsbroen on May 14, 1935.
As early as 1905 the ferry was moved to Masnedø in order to provide the ferry service there over the Storstrømmen on the Ringsted – Rødby Færge railway to Orehoved . As part of this relocation, the ferry's home port was also relocated to Masnedø on August 26, 1914.
The ferry route across Storstrømmen was closed on September 26, 1937 with the inauguration of Storstrømsbroen .
The ferry stayed here only for a few years before being used on the Glyngøre - Nykøbing Mors ferry route from 1916 . Masnedø remained the home port. She drove on this route until the end of her mission.
On Mors , the Railway Act of May 27, 1908 planned two railway lines on the island with the starting point in Nykøbing. The ferry port with siding in Nykøbing was the only measure that was carried out according to these plans.
Conversions
From 1904 to November 2, 1905, the ferry was rebuilt and extended in the Kjøbenhavns Flydedok og Skibsværft shipyard . On this occasion, the ship received another steam engine for a propeller attached to the front.
On June 11, 1935, the Marie received a narrow-gauge track to bring new vehicles to Rønne for De Bornholmske Jernbaner (DBJ) on the island of Bornholm . DBJ drove with meter gauge vehicles.
