Nyborg Ferry 1992

Just prior to the opening of the Storebelt connection, Danish trains still needed a ferry to run from the capital on the island of Sjaeland on to the main land.
We see the ferry terminal in Nyborg on the island of Fyn, that already for long years has a bridge to the mainland.
Passing coaches and goods vans is in decline.
Notice the triple coach intercity dmu's that allow fast splitting and combining, thus fitting on the ship deck.
This ingenious Danish development allows full walk through the length of the train, because of the passage door that can easily be turned aside to make room for a fully equipped driver seat with the necessary head lights built in.

Though the intercity offers place to through travelers, many others travel on the ferry a foot, taking a local train or bus from the port, as is visible.
All these port facilities are reported to have completely vanished after the opening of the bridge/tunnel link for both cars and trains.
