In ‘The Olsen Gang on Track’, the three gang members use the shunting tractor as an implement to steal millions of Danish kroner. The tractor is almost the fourth gang member in this much-loved comedy. As always, everything is going very well at the beginning. Egon has learnt the timetable off by heart and is able to navigate between the large trains. Benny deftly steers the tractor, while Kjeld changes the points. All is going to plan, until the Danish State Railways changes to the summer timetable and all the train times change.
You can watch clips from ‘The Olsen Gang on Track’ (in Danish). The film is put into the context of railway history, and visitors will learn about the importance that particularly films and TV series have in relation to our knowledge about trains and railways.
