OpenRailwayMap/Tagging in Denmark

Tracks

General

General tags in Denmark are:

• railway=rail
• railway=light_rail for Aarhus Letbane, Odense Letbane, and Hovedstadens Letbane

Milestones

Not widely used yet

• railway=milestone
• railway:position=* VALUE in km, decimals separated with "."

Track gauge

All railways in Denmark use standard gauge. A few touristic railways may differ.

• gauge=1435

Electrification systems

The following electrification systems are used in Denmark:

Non-electrified

• electrified=no

DC-Tracks

S-train commuter rail around Copenhagen:

• electrified=contact_line
• voltage=1650
• frequency=0

Tram lines/light rail:

• electrified=contact_line
• voltage=750
• frequency=0

Copenhagen metro:

• electrified=rail
• voltage=750
• frequency=0

AC-Tracks

All heavy rail lines:

• electrified=contact_line
• voltage=25000
• frequency=50

Padborg station has a few tracks to the German standard

• electrified=contact_line
• voltage=15000
• frequency=16.7

Train protection

With no train protection

• railway:zub123=no

• railway:etcs=no

With Danish ATC (=Automatic Train Control)

• railway:zub123=yes

Don't tag it as ATC, as that tag is already taken by Swedish ATC.

With ETCS

• railway:etcs=2

Only ETCS Level 2 is used in Denmark
