A merger of Odsherreds Jernbane A/S (OHJ) and Høng-Tølløse Jernbane A/S (HTJ), VL was established in May 2003 after several years of close cooperation between the two companies. The company operated the former OHJ and HTJ lines, that is, Holbæk–Nykøbing Sjælland and Tølløse–Slagelse, respectively. The company workshop and headquarters were located in Holbæk.

The company was merged with Lollandsbanen A/S and Østbanen into a new company, Regionstog A/S, on 1 January 2009.[1] Regionstog A/S merged again with Lokalbanen A/S in 2015 to form the railway company Lokaltog A/S.
