technical education in railway systems Explanation: I think baneteknisk means technical education in railway systems in this context, since the above phrase is related to DSB, Danske Statsbaner, the Danish railway system. http://www.dsb.dk/cs/Satellite?pagename=DSBUK/Forside |

railway technological; railway Explanation: The '-teknisk' bit is, IMHO, caused by the unfortunate influence of the German language on the Danish language. It communicates nothing, and I would be inclined to delete it in the translation. |

rail (network) infrastructure Explanation: "Rail (network) infrastructure, owned by DSB" for the whole phrase "baneteknisk anlæg". I think this refers to the whole network (rails, signals, tunnels etc), as in the link. The trains that run on the network are often owned by another company after privatisation in many countries (UK, DK etc.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2009-12-05 23:25:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thank you Anton and Christine.
