Steam locomotive L 2 built 1869 by Alexander Chaplin & Co. for the jydsk-fyenske jernbaner (JFJ) in a series of 4, used on the Aarhus harbour line until 1884. A wooden bridge meant that the shunting locomotives there had to be very lightweight, which resulted in a vertical boiler design without an enclosed cab, capable of moving two or three freight wagons, a job previously done by horses who had difficulties pulling the wagons up the steep line. B, 9 hp, length 4.4 m, weight 8.1 t. Danish railway museum Odense, 2023-08-04. tobias b köhler
