Little South Line
The Little South Line ( da, Lille Syd) is a railway line on the Denmark, Danish island of Zealand, formerly connecting the towns of Roskilde and Næstved by way of Køge. History The railway was built as part of the Zealand South Line ( da, Sjællandske Sydbane) which was inaugurated on 4 October 1870. After 1924, most trains used the Ringsted-Næstved Line instead of Lille Syd. In 2012, it was decided to electrify the section between Køge and Næstved. The works were completed in March 2019.

In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains.
