Question about MX/MY in Flensborg - Jernbanehistorisk forum

hello
does anyone know until what year/date the DSB MX and MY locomotives were used in passenger and/or freight traffic to/from Flensborg (Germany)?

thanks for any information you may have

best regards from Rotterdam NL

As far as i know, the change of traction was made in Padborg, right at the border a few kilometers north to Flensburg, so they would rarely, if ever, come to Flensburg.
MX was redrawn from duty by DSB in Westdenmark i early 1991 and the last MY's was decommissioned from DSB around 2001.
Both are stil seen today i Padborg as the are operated by railcompanies like CFL and Contec

Probably not quite correct:

Die Nummer 1105 hatte noch den 16-Zylinder-567-B-Motor mit 1500 PS, die Serie ab der Betriebsnummer 1106 wurde mit 567-C-Motoren mit 1700 PS ausgestattet.

[image] MY 1144 (NOHAB AA16) ist eine europäischen Lizenz-Variante der amerikanischen Standardlokomotiven der F-Reihe von General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD). Sie wurde von vielen Bahnverwaltungen in Ost- und Westeuropa in Varianten mit den Achsfolgen Co'Co' oder (A1A)(A1A) beschafft und ist noch heute im Einsatz. Die Typenbezeichnung NOHAB AA16 erfolgte nach dem Lizenznehmer Nydqvist och Holm AB (NOHAB) im schwedischen Trollhättan. MY 1144 (Baujahr 1964) verlässt hier mit einer Schwesterlok vor einem Schnellzug den deutsch/dänischen Grenzbahnhof Flensburg in Richtung Padborg. (11.1986) Foto: Thorsten Eichhorn.

However, the exact timetable-periods are unknown to me.

When the first 4 My were placed in service in 1954, they did not go south of the border.
The schedule from 1955 called for My on "Nord-express" (both south- and northbound), but again: the change of traction happened in Padborg.
Not sure from when the Danish diesels went to Flenburg for change of motive power.
At least from 1961 the train "Nordpilen" had My between Padborg and Flensburg where a German diesel took over.

It is know that in the period from the summer 1963 to the summer of 1965 a DSB My powered train D152 between Flensburg and Hamburg (and D 147 from Hamburg to Flenburg). The lay-over in Hamburg were only about 1,5 hours so no need to consider service facilities for the DSB diesels.

Since both Padborg and Flenburg are regarded as border stations, motive power from DB and DSB could be seen on both stations.
I do believe once we get into the 1970s you can expect both My/x/z in Flenburg.
