The danish foot is smaller here: [1]
Therefore (and considering your previous posts) I will remove your unsourced addition to this article.
There's no mention of a danish 1422mm gauge here: [2]
If you have a source for this claim, I will be happy to reinstate it.

Danish foot is much larger than Swedish foot (about 6/5 times) and also larger than English foot (7/6 times). 121.102.47.39 (talk) 04:47, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a source? I tried googling, but I only found pages that contradict your values for the Danish foot, and no sources that mention an earlier Danish gauge. Please do not reintroduce this text until you can give us some reason to believe you.

What's up with the new photo?[edit]

I get it it's a new locomotive, but you can barely even see the passenger carriages, so what's the point? I would suggest using a picture at an angle where the carriages are visible or there's no point. Also these locomotive hauled carriages are only used for regional services on Zealand AFAIK, so it's not very representative of Denmark as a whole, what was wrong with an InterCity train?
