Faxe Railway (Faxe Jernbane)

Fax Railway (Faxe Jernbane) (Narrow-Gauge)

Faxe Jernbane was a private railway company that established the railway line Stubberup - Faxe Ladeplads in 1864 for the transport of lime from the lime quarry to the harbour. The 6.5 km long stretch is today part of the Østbanen .

There is some doubt about the line's originally used gauge. It is admittedly stated in several places in the literature as 791 mm, but in the delivery protocol at the locomotive factory Krauss states in 1874, 1907, 1914 and 1927 that it had delivered locomotives with a gauge of 785 mm.

It is somewhat unclear why one with a gauge of 791 mm is mentioned. There must have probably been a change over the years, since Faxe Kalkbrud around 1970 ordered 2 diesel locomotives from Schöma with a desired gauge of 791 mm.
