  • Privatbanen Sønderjylland ApS (abbreviated PBS, also known under the byname EuroRail) was a Danish railway operating company that existed between 1997 and 2001. Unlike other Danish railway companies at the time, PBS was an attempt to provide railway service on a purely commercial basis and entirely unsubsidised. Headquartered in Tønder in South Jutland, the company specialised in freight transport around most of Jutland. Noted for its numerous battles with bureaucracy, the company was partially successful in getting otherwise closed freight lines up and running again. Motive power was obtained primarily through buying second-hand diesel locomotives from DSB, and a number of freight cars were leased from NS, the Dutch railways. After several attempts to save the company, PBS was declared bankrupt in 2001. A new company, TraXion, was established and based on the remains of PBS, but was also commercially unsuccessful.
  • } Privatbanen Sønderjylland (PBS) was een private spoorwegmaatschappij in het zuiden van Jutland in Denemarken, opgericht in 1998. Dit was de eerste 'nieuwe' private spoorwegmaatschappij in Denemarken. Met tweedehands locomotieven van voornamelijk de Danske StatsbanerDSB verzorgde PBS goederenvervoer van Tønder (plaats)Tønder naar Grindsted en Esbjerg (stad)Esbjerg. Na heropening van de spoorlijn tussen Tønder en Tinglev verzorgde PBS ook goederenvervoer van Tønder via Tinglev naar Sønderborg. In 1999 werd begonnen met containertreinen tussen de containerfabriek van Maersk in Tinglev en Århus. Op 27 maart 2001 werd PBS failliet verklaard. Een deel van de activiteiten van PBS werd overgenomen door de nieuwe private spoorwegmaatschappij TraXion.
