Funen Main Line

The Funen Main Line (Danish: Den fynske hovedbane) is a railway line across the island of Funen, Denmark. It was inaugurated on 7 September 1865, the birthday of Queen Louise, and is thus also known as Queen Louise's Railway (Danish: Dronning Louises Jernbane).
At its opening, the line connected Nyborg via Odense to Middelfart. In 1866, the line was extended from Middelfart to Strib, from where to Fredericia opened in 1872. Starting in 1883, Nyborg was connected to Korsør by the Great Belt ferries. The Little Belt ferry service, as well as the Middelfart–Strib segment, was replaced by the Little Belt Bridge in 1935. With the opening of the Great Belt Fixed Link in 1997, the line now forms part of the Copenhagen–Fredericia/Taulov Line. To improve capacity, a parallel high-speed line across western Funen is under construction as of 2026 with scheduled completion in 2029.
