This depot was built as early as 1887 with an eleven-hour roundhouse, turntable, water tower, coal store and locomotive treatment plant.
Later a two-room workshop was added to the roundhouse.
After just over 70 years, Danske Statsbaner (DSB) closed the depot as an independent service in 1958. The locomotive shed and the workshop building still exist, the remaining facilities in the depot have been completely dismantled.
A boiler shop was established on a large part of the site. Ownership changed here several times. The company still exists today and continues to use most of the former depot.
Between 1993 and 2001 part of the depot was used by a railway association or a private railway.
The ensemble has been empty since then and can now be described as a ruin.
The roof of the round shed in which the NVAG DL 1 diesel locomotive is locked has partially collapsed. The workshop is also unusable. The two wood-paneled bogie passenger cars 555 and 664 from Norway, a baggage car and the control car Cls 718 used for DSB MO are unprotected outside.
In front of the former workshop are the parts of a turntable bought from Germany.
When the gate is open and a member of the ten-person Railway Club is present, the site can be visited. At the moment, 200,000 crowns would be required to immediately secure the round shed roof.
Vehicles on site:
DL 1 of the NVAG
Is a type 400 C diesel locomotive built by MaK in Kiel in 1955.
Until 1994 for her among others for GBD, DHE and NVAG.
After that, she was still in service for a veteran railway for almost 14 years.
It has now been in the engine shed for over 10 years.
Cls 718
Is a control car of the Danish State Railways.
A total of 18 vehicles of this type were manufactured between 1960 and 1962.
It had 87 seats, steam heating and could go 120 km / h.
This car was retired in 1983.
As I found out, there are only 2 cars of this type left.
Unfortunately, no information is available on the two Norwegian passenger cars and the baggage car.
