If the national Danish railway carrier DSB was looking for an Italian train that actually works – it need not have ordered dozens of IC4 trains from AnsaldoBreda in Italy – but could simply have taken one of its own Kystbanen trains to Rungsted up the coast from Copenhagen.
There, Politiken’s back page has discovered an AnsaldoBreda model called K 582 that not only looks good, but also seems to work rather well – at least according to Henning Pedersen. OK, it may be 113 years old and runs on coal, but it faithfully starts even on cold mornings and just keeps on chuf-chuf-chuffing.
