I think you've got your wired crossed..
the gozo channel fleet aren't trains at all.
Danish trains might be the new small trains we've got now..

A train ferry is a ship built to carry rail-vehicles but also usually
road-vehicles.
Examples of trainferry crossings are Rödby-Puttgarden,Malmö-Sassnitz.
So those old Danish railferries were used to carry cars between
Cirkewwa-Mgarr.
When I travelled they had still the signs in Danish language.
