Freight trains are unusual on the Fredericia - Esbjerg and Bramming - Tønder lines on the Jutland peninsula but both were used as diversionary routes for a few weeks in 2014 and again in 2015, during major civil engineering work on their usual cross-border route through Padborg.
The majority of Danish freight workings are concentrated on the electrified route linking Sweden and Germany via Copenhagen, Odense, Fredericia and Padborg. These trains are usually worked by modern multi-system electric locos equipped for the Swedish and German 15kV systems as well as the Danish 25kV.

The remainder of the network sees little freight traffic and DB Cargo only needs 6 main line diesels of Class MZ to operate its services on non-electrified lines. Several independent operators also run freight trains in Denmark, often using older ex-DSB diesels of Classes MX and MY, but none have more than a handful of locomotives.

Two extended periods of engineering work on the main line between Lunderskov, west of Kolding, and Padborg in 2014 and 2015 meant that freights between Denmark and Germany were diverted via Esbjerg with diesel haulage. Nohab built, GM engined MZ Class Co-Cos worked between Fredericia and Esbjerg with DB Class 232s taking over for the run south through Tønder and Niebüll to Hamburg.
