The Danish state railway company Danske Statsbaner (DSB) had two Bulldog nose class GM
locomotives built by Nydquist och Holm AB in Sweden (for short: Nohab) in license,
the class MX (A1A-A1A, 45 units, max. 133 km/h) and the stronger version class MY
(A1A-A1A, 59 units, max. 133 km/h), forming the largest group of Bulldog nose GM units in Europe:
Class MX - 20 locomotives with an 1,425 hp 12-567C engine (numbers DSB 1001 - 1020 built in 1960 and 1961) and
- 25 locomotives with an 1,450 hp 12-567D1 engine (numbers DSB 1021 - 1045 built in 1961 and 1962).
Class MY - 5 locomotives were originally equipped with an 1,700 hp 16-567B engine (numbers DSB 1101 - 1105 built in 1954 and 1955), of which 4 locomotives (DSB 1101, 1103 - 1105) were equipped with an 1,950 hp16-567C engine later on (the 16-567B engines were exchanged with other MV or MY locomotives and these were renumbered as MV class from 1968 onwards, only containing MV 1101, 1102, 1104, 1109, 1134 and 1144 during the years after 1968) and
- 39 locomotives with an 1,950 hp 16-567C engine (numbers DSB 1105 - 1144 built between 1954 and 1958) and
- 15 locomotives with an 1,950 hp 16-567D1 engine (numbers DSB 1144 - 1159 built in 1964 and 1965).
The last DSB locomotive was withdrawn from scheduled DSB freight service on 15 June 2001. During the years, several locomotives were sold to Danish, German, Norwegian and Swedish private railway companies. In Denmark the following private railway companies, leasing companies and museum organisations got their hands on the DSB bulldog noses (see the country themes of Germany, Norway and Sweden for the locomotives which went there):
Danish GM Gruppen (DJK) in Padborg operates since 1998 now and then special passenger trains in Denmark. It owns ATC train safety system fitted ex-DSB MY 1126 (it is in silver/blue 'graffiti' livery, but the plan is to give it the classical brown DSB livery). At the moment it is standing at Padborg in the eastern shed.
In 2003 MY 1105 (in DSB red/black livery) was sold to Tågab in Sweden. CFL Cargo Danmark (formerDansk Jernbane ApS, DJ) Dansk Jernbane ApSis a Luxembourg CFL Cargo daughter company, now called CFL Cargo Danmark. Owns: MY 1154 (DJ MY 1154; bought in June 2001 from DSB by then VNJ), MY 1158 (VNJ MY 1158; bought in August 2001 from DSB by then VNJ) and MX 104 (bought in October 2005 from VL; in VL red livery; renumbered in MX 1029, its old DSB number). Both MY locomotives have the DJ red/silver livery. In 2007 CFL Cargo purchased from Vestsjællands Lokalbaner MX 101, MY 105, ØSJS MX 41 (ex-DSB MX 1023; in ØSJS yellow/orange livery as "Kong Hother") and ØSJS MX 43 (ex-DSB MX 1006; since 2000 in DSB classical brown livery). MX 1030 is now determined a spare parts donor (sitting at Bombardier in Randers). CFL Cargo also rented all four roundnoses (1 MY and 3 MX) and train staff from NJ for three years.
As the MX locos lack the Danish ATC train safety system, they are only used as trailing locos or as branche line traction. CFL Cargo and Museumstog have agreed to split the costs for installing ATC in a MX (MX 1001). So far, no MX has had the Danish train control system ATC installed. This means that MX are again interesting to operate for companies in Denmark. Also MY 1101 should be in the progress of installing ATC. However, ATC has also not been installed before in MY batch 1 or 2... As with all prototyping, this takes a lot of time, effort and money. The reason for the large extention of the DJ fleet recently is the fact that Railion Danmark has given up its freight service to many destinations in Denmark as from 1 April 2006. This concerns the freight services to Esbjerg, Kalundborg, Randers, Nyborg, Vejen and Aalborg (and Århus and Padborg for wagon load traffic). The freight trains of NJ (containers with fish flour from Skagen to Århus and the glue tank wagons from Frederikshavn to Aalborg) will be operated by CFL Cargo during these three years. Whether containers and fish from Hirtshals are still on the transport programme is unclear as a sufficient stop in the new timetable (see the Denmark picture gallery) is not sufficient to shunt wagons in and out of the trains between Aalborg and Frederikshavn and return.
Since the beginning of April 2006 wagons are transported again via the train ferry Frederikshavn (DK) - Göteborg (S). It concerns glue in tank wagons from Århus to Hultsfred (S). In Sweden Inlandsgods transported the wagons with TMX 1024 (with the recent second bankruptcy of Inlandsgods it is not clear who took over this traffic in Sweden).
Since 2005 CFL Cargo transports concrete and chalc stone to Skive (DK).
From the beginning of April 2006 CFL Cargo started transporting wagons with ammonium between Brunsbüttel (BRD) and Aalborg Grønlandshavn (DK).
As from 1 June 2006 CFL Cargo in cooperation with VLTJ will start transporting uranium from Germany to Rønland. The roundnoses are sometimes used for the once weekly CFL Cargo freight service Niebüll (BRD) - Grindsted (DK): Train GF 7270 on Fridays:

The transport of wood from several Danish (Northern Jutland) loading points for the Austrian market on behalf of the Salzburger Eisenbahn Transport-Logistik GmbH
(SETG). The traction in Germany is provided by Eisenbahnbau-und Betriebsgesellschaft Pressnitztalbahn mbH (PRESS) and in Austria by Salzburger Lokalbahn (SLB).
One set of Laas/Snps-XL wagons is used for these transports. CFL Cargo runs the once-weekly trains from/to Padborg (DK);
The transport of building materials from Germany (Mecklenburg) to Skive (DK) on behalf of the Parchim company. DJ also runs these once-weekly trains from/to Padborg (DK).
In the end of 2006 CFL Cargo stopped operating the aluminum trains between Grenå and Tønder. DSB Materiel Laboratorium DSB Materiel Laboratorium MY 1135 (officially numbered 90 86 00-21 135-7) got a unique dark blue DSB livery with yellow stipe and DSB logo in May 2004. The locomotive provides now and then traction for test trains out of Rødekro to Vojens. Currently the locomotive stands in Rødekro with two test coaches attached to it. DSB Museumstog in Odense operates since 1986 now and then special passenger trains in Denmark with MX 1001 and MY 1101 (both in DSB brown livery). The new asset is the MY 1159 (in DSB red/black livery) which is currently stripped for overhaul, handed over by DSB in June 2001 (it is currently not operable). In the Denmarks Jernbanemuseum stands MY 1112 with one side open to show the visitors how a diesel locomotive looks like inside (the loco is in DSB red/black livery).
Class MX - 20 locomotives with an 1,425 hp 12-567C engine (numbers DSB 1001 - 1020 built in 1960 and 1961) and

In the Denmarks Jernbanemuseum stands MY 1112 with one side open to show the visitors how a diesel locomotive looks like inside (the loco is in DSB red/black livery).
EuroRail Laising A/S
The cooperation by Euro Rail Leasing and the Nordfriesische Verkehrs AG (NVAG) wasn't a success. MY 1148 has really never been used by NVAG.
However, the EuroRail Laising MY 1148 still carries a NVAG red livery with white NVAG stripes.
NVAG used some money to shape up MY 1148, but the private owner neglected to update the Danish ATC train safety system and to renew some permissions, and moreover the main engine and bogies in MY 1148 were claimed by the estate of bankruptcy of PBS, because both were taken from ex-PBS MY 1120. The engine and bogies are now taken off the locomotive. MY 1148 is currently in Tønder on a pair of spare bogies on the secured property of the Hartmann company (barely visible from a road on the south side of the factory, west of the Tønder shunting yard). In the beginning of 2006 the private owner bought a pair of matching bogies.

MY 1148 is currently in Tønder on a pair of spare bogies on the secured property of the Hartmann company (barely visible from a road on the south side of the factory, west of the Tønder shunting yard). In the beginning of 2006 the private owner bought a pair of matching bogies.
Hillerød - Frederiksværk - Hundested Jernbane (HFHJ, Frederiksværkbanen), part of Hovedstadens Lokalbaner
HFHJ owns the HFHJ MX 16, 17, 18 and 19 (ex-DSB 1045, 1017, 1018 and 1019; all in HFHJ red and silver stripe livery).
HFHJ MX 18 is currently not in service. On 22 August 2002 HFHJ stopped operating
steel trains between Frederiksværk and Høje Taastrup (as ordered by Railion Denmark A/S), because the steel factory in
Frederiksværkbanen stopped production, but since February 2003 the HFHJ runs the steel trains (under new Russian management)
again in double traction from Frederiksværk via Hillerød right down to Taastrup on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Since the end of 2006
HFHJ stopped these freight workings again and its roundnoses are without employment now.
Lollandsbanen A/S (LJ)
operated waste trains on an irregular basis (about once a week) from Nakskov (where the depot of the LJ is situated) resp. Grænge via
Nykøbing F. to Næstved v.v. on weekdays. All Lollandsbanen freight trains have ceased to run as from 2007 due to requirements to get subsidies for passenger
train services.
Owns: MX 1043 (LJ M 36 in LJ orange livery) and DSB MY 1153 (LJ M 38, bought from DSB in January 2002 and painted
in IC2-design with red cabines, blue middle part and white stripes). The MX locomotives LJ M 34 (LJ orange livery),
35 (LJ orange livery) and 37 (DSB black/red cabins livery) were sold
to the Swedish Projsoft AB company in Stockholm (S) in October 2005.
M 38 has to be in front of the trains, because it is the only LJ locomotive with the required
Danish ATC safety equipment. M 36 is often used as a trailing locomotive.
Nordjyske Jernbaner A/S (NJ)
This merger between Skagensbane -SB- and Hjørring Privatbane (since July 2001) operated freight trains Skagen -
Frederikshavn - Hjørring - Aalborg v.v. and Hjørring - Hirthals v.v. Owns: MX 1009 (NJ M 11, ex-OHJ MX 102),
MX 1038 (NJ M 10) and MX 1041 (NJ M 9). All locomotives are in NJ white/blue livery. Additionally MY 1146
(now NJ M 17 in NJ livery, albeit with dark grey roof in stead of the usual white) has been bought from DSB in
January 2002. The M 17 is ATC equipped and therefore works the Skagen - Aalborg v.v. trains. The other locomotives
are scheduled for the Hjørring - Hirthals roundtrips. Since April 2006 all four NJ roundnoses are rented to DJ which
from that date carries out the NJ freight workings for three years.
Østbanen (Østsjællandske Jernbane-Selskab, ØSJS), part of Hovedstadens Lokalbaner
Owns: MX 1023 (ØSJS MX 41 in ØSJS yellow/orange livery as "Kong Hother"), MX 1005 (ØSJS MX 42, used as
snowplow locomotive based in Køge, in DSB red/black livery), MX 1006 (ØSJS MX 43; since 2000 in DSB classical brown livery).
The ØSJS locomotives are not regularly used, but in the summer months ØSJS MX 43 is often used for special passenger workings of the Østsjællandske Jernbaneklub. ØSJS MX 41 is parked at HFHJ (another Lokalbanen company) but is rarely used (it is normally parked in Hundested), only once in a while it works the HFHJ steel train. Privatbanen Sønderjylland (PBS) operated freight trains in the Southern part of Denmark until March 2001 when it went bankrupt. PBS in receivership owned MX 1030 and MY 1120.
The MX 1030 was then owned by a German NOHAB fan, Michael Frick, and stands on the property of Boiler-Work in Tønder, visible on the east of the shunting yard behind a fence. The locomotive lacks its traction motors and bogies and is painted in a new red with white stripes GM livery. In March 2005 the locomotive was bought by DJ.
The MY 1120 (in red/black DSB livery) was scrapped in July 2005 in Tønder.
MY 1124 (in red/black DSB livery) is sold to Skånetåg Bulk AB in Sweden. Tønder Bank Leasing (TBL) Owned since March 2001 MY 1110 "Havkatten" (white with two blue cabins), MY 1122 "Sarah" and MY 1134 (both white with two red cabins). They were used by TraXion till 1 April 2002, but were sold to Skånetåg Bulk AB in Sweden in January 2003. They were transported from Padborg via Odense to Sweden in February 2003 (not under own power). TraXion A/S operated from 2 April 2001 to its bankruptcy on 1 November 2002 freight trains with several MY locomotives out of its Padborg depot:
TraXion sold its MY 1150, MY 1156 and MY 1157 to TGOJ (S). They are all still in DSB red/black livery. The MY 1150 and MY 1157 were transported to Sweden, MY 1156 is still in Padborg (D) in front of the western shed with some defects. Vemb - Lemvig - Thyborøn Jernbane A/S (VLTJ, Lemvigbanen) operates freight trains Herning - Holstebro - Vemb - Lemvig - Rønland (- in the past further to Thyborøn Havn). Herning - Holstebro - Vemb is ordered by Railion Denmark A/S.

Vemb (departure) 13:30 hours (after loco turnaround)
Lemvig 14:00/14:15 hours (loco turnaround)
Rønland (arrival) 14:40 hours The timetable between Vemb and Rønland and in the opposite direction is only an estimation. There is only cargo with destinations Holstebro and Rønland. The locomotive is often parked at the chemical plant in Rønland. Vestsjællands Lokalbaner (formerly OHJ (Odsherreds Jernbane) / HTJ (Høng - Tølløse Jernbane) ) Owns: MX 1008 (OHJ MX 101 in OHJ red livery), MX 1010 (OHJ MX 103 in OHJ red livery) and MX 1029 (OHJ MX 104 in OHJ red livery).
OHJ bought MY 1145 from DSB in order to start a direct service Høng - Slagelse - Ringsted instead of the route via Holbaek. The locomotive (still in DBS red/black livery) was delivered to OHJ on 30 May 2002 and was renumbered in MY 105.
VL MX 104 was sold to DJ in October 2005 and VL MX 105 was rented to DJ for a week in October 2005. The Nohabs of VL (Vestsjællands Lokalbaner) are currently used to shunt old S-trains to the scrap yard in the habour in Holbæk. This is usually done on Mondays between 09:00 and 12:00 hours. However, this scrap service trip can also take place on other days! The Tuesday and Thursdays grain trains Holbæk - Høng freight trains for Railion Denmark A/S ceased running early 2004.
The freight time schedule (all Tuesday and Thursday only) was: Train GF 6710:
Holbæk (departure) 09:47
Høng (arrival) 10:41 Train GF 6741:
Høng (departure) 11:39
Tølløse 12:19/12:57
Holbæk (arrival) 13:10 For the following unused DSB locomotives the future is still uncertain MX 1035 (in the classical DSB brown livery) stands in Struer as a monument since 5 September 1992;
MV 1102, MY 1139 and MV 1144 (all in DSB red/black livery) were finally scrapped on 13 October 2005 at the scrapyard of Hensat Henriksen in Arhus.
