Denmark / Oslo Railways late 1960s - Well shot original 8mm Kodachrome Film 

About 10; 30 at a metal fence at Valby station. There I was, as a 10-12 year old boy, watching and feeling the trains whizz by, while I dreamed of the places you could travel to. My childhood was horrible and therefore I needed these kinds of dreams. Great that someone made these recordings and saved them.

I get olsen-banden vibes from these fantastic videos 😂❤

I was 9-10 year old boy at this time. Living just across the street by the railway station and were looking at the traffic every day. Loved the MY locomotives and the MZ’s that was the brand new model at this time. Remember talking to my grandfather about these cool machines, but he said: “Nah, the steam locomotives were the real deal!” Generations...😊 Love the sequence where we see the old no longer used steamers parked on a side track. A piece of cultural history, but off cause you can’t save everything...

It makes me sad. Wish i could go back in time. I wasnt even born then. Im from 77. Still i miss the way copenhagen once was. Been here my whole life.

A trip down memory lane. Wonderful 😢🎉

Nice, as a Norwegian boy (Oslo) I visited Copenhagen first time the summer of 1969. I noticed a Mercedes Benz W114 pulling into the central Station in Copenhagen early in the video. That was introduced in 1968, so 68-69 seams correct.

Really beautiful video. Some of these trains was part of my childhood. Especially the gen 2 S trains. I was lucky enough to ride the last preserved gen 1 S train, before it was put on display at the museum.

Pure railway poetry❤

Very cool! The Oslo parts are filmed on the Oslo - Ski mainline. On the Oslo portion I believe he starts filming somewhere around Kolbotn. I can clearly say the latter parts are Hauketo and into Oslo. It's so weird to see parts of my old commuter hop into Oslo on film. I recognized a lot of the building but some were quite the surprise as I thought they were more modern additions.

Very good photography and impressively stable transfer. A film record that only improves with age. Thank you. Now if only the dirt could be removed .... but that requires some very expensive equipment. A very interesting 15 minutes

All the classic DSB trains of the era. I remember the red S-trains (2nd generation), 05:06, but the brown S-trains were before my time. Also the red express train at 10:52 is special - they were later painted silver and called the silver arrow ("sølvpilen" DSB litra MA).

Incredible footage - in the mid 70s I worked in a student job at the central post office with delivering carts with mail to and from the trains at Copenhagen Central Station. Nothing changed from the 60s. These videos make memories come back to me.

Absolutely excellent short film, Tremendous! Thanks for putting it up. What a wonderful time it was to be alive, I'm so glad I didn't miss it.

Great camera work from the filmer, but also a great film scan that seems to be stabilized. And i stayed for the music... Good choiche and very relaxing.

15mins of pure joy, I am so happy you have posted this, magical

I am speechless. What a treasure!

Thank you. Rewinding to ones youth.

13:03 passing Hauketo station south of Oslo, 13:30 view of the Oslo Fjord from near Nordstrand station, 13:45 The Ulvøya bridge, plays a central role in one of Per Petterson's novels, 14:04 on the left Oslo goods station, which was a very beautiful building now torn down to give place to the expensive business district "Barcode" and the adjacent Opera house, and then 14:17 Oslo Ø (Ø for øst = east, Oslo eastern station, now part of Oslo S (Sentral = central station). The train on the left if probably regional train for Moss, Fredrikstad, Sarpsborg, Halden, or local train for Ski station. With Per Petterson I say: I curse the river of time, and, I refuse.

Outstanding show. Thanks for posting.

Titelpage on film is wrong - NO Helsingør instead NSB Oslo Øst (now Centralstation in Oslo) as end scene - lots of Valby and Dybbelsbro scenes. Late sixties is more correct building of DSB Containerterminal fisrt started late 1968. BUT very nice and well-shot film.

S-train with 1. class was introduced in 1968. This film is from 1968 or 1969.

So beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!!!

What great memories this has evoked! I traveled most of those rails in Denmark, Sweden and Norway in the latter half of the ‘60s through to 1975… and even the British Rail ones in the ‘70s!

The country,the trains,the epoch and for me,very essential : The Music.Great Work,thanks for all.

Nice footage. The year is at the earliest 1967, more likely 1968 or 1969. And the last few minutes are from Norway.

Ty for a nice video its intering to see how trains and railways looked back when my parents were kids

What is the music in this documentary? It is wonderful!

At 13:15, we reach Hauketo station before Oslo. Sadly, today that great view across the valley is obscured by trees.

Super Video!!! Ich habe das noch gesehen 👍

Fantastic film!. The last two minutes looks like Norway.

Brilliant footage, thanks for taking the time to share. The connection from Scandinavia to the UK was so much better then. I'd be a more frequent visitor if the train/ferries were revived. Even the weather was better then 😉

Would be nice to get Esbjerg-Harwich again.

Beautiful video... Thanks for sharing. BR, Per (Bornholm)

What a fantastic film, thank you!

The red "S-Train" in Copenhagen started service in 1967.

Super ! Wow

Wonderful video👍🏻 the number of MZ locomotives - very likely 1969 (can’t be 67, maybe early fall 68 - but unlikely)

The electric lokomotive is NSB class el 11. Number is from 2078 to 2112, 2145 to 2150 as 41 was build. Five last had only 2 frontwindow and The rest four Windows. They was build from 1951 to 1964. 2150 scraped in 1965 ca. Whitdrawn from 1991 to may 1994. On Flåm railwayline Number 2092, 2098 and 2110 last in service to 1997. Today 2078 is in restauration, 2098 in heritage use and 2107 in heritage use. 2085 is in parts.

1:31 The DSB MY 1101. First of its class.

DSB changed to colour signals with dwarf shunting signals that year on Copenhagen Central in 1967 and I see the old block posts Red S-trains is also from 1967 or later No steam trains, so maybe 68-69?

Lovely silent music... What is it???

The main entrance to the Hovedbanegården i Copenhagen looks almost the same today

Very nice, like ...

S (II) Class steam locomotive at 09:27 looks like 732 which was scrapped in 1970

Det var fra dengang jernbanerne havde charme. I dag er der ændret totalt på tingene, men ikke til det bedre. F.eks. at se arealerne ved KBH. var imponerende, med at det liv der var.

Europe before occupation. Amazing.

Between 1968 and 1972 as we a 2nd generation S-tog made up of a Litra MM and a Litra AS.

I'm so sorry the commentator before myself had a horrid childhood. thought Scandinavia was one lovely big welfed state. But yes, super camera-work. absolutely addictive. Should be in bed preparing for another day "on the buses "

It is not from the 60s. It must be around start 70s as last steam train was may 1970.

Synd det ikke var filmet fra Nordstrand Jernbanestasjon og mitt forrige hus like ved.(13:36-13:38). Akkurat det var klippet bort.

No graffiti on the trains! What was wrong with people back then? Didn't they know you're supposed to vandalize these things?

💖💝💖 Ohhh these good days, where a house could stay outside for over the night 😁 when a man was a man, and a train, was a train... specially the MY Locomotive..and you could make a 100 dkr. for " free " by helping the neighbors with something..it's sadly over..now..new times...and new trains....( If they works 😬 ) 💐🌹✨💖💝💖✨🌹💐

Skøn film 👍👍👍👍

Early 70s rather, as can be seen from clothes, mopeds, locos, rolling stock etc.

Priceless footage about an excellent high quality era without the filth of today. Looting freeloading arab, african etc... Time to go back to the mid '50s

Music name?

Danmark uden kriminelle migranter ❤️🇩🇰
