The English translation of ‘stukkie wukkie’ would surely be the train is ‘stuck’?
Google translates “stukkie wukkie” as “piece of shit” or “wonky”, depending on other nearby words, and “stukkie” as “broken”. but neither of these words is in a dutch dictionary afaict. And google doesn’t translate anything i tried to those words.
I’m not a Dane though so could be wrong.
Dutch is the language (and demonym) of the Netherlands.
Dane is the demonym for people from Denmark, where they speak the Danish language.
If you’re still interested, ‘Stukkie’ comes from ‘stuk’ which means broken. The -kie that is added is to infantilize the word, usually to refer to a smaller object you’d use -je instead, -kie is more of a dialect which is why you won’t find it in a dictionary. ‘Wukkie’ means as much as the ‘woopsie’ in ‘oopsie woopsie’, to make it sound even more infantile.
So a literal translation would be ‘The train is brokey wokey’
Oops. Replying on mobile is annoying sometimes because you can only see the comment you’re directly replying to, and not the OOP (at least in the app I’m using). So I had to hold ‘Dutch’ in my brain and by the time I’d finished my reply, I’d misremembered Dutch to Danish - hence Dane. Apologies.

It relates to stuk, which means broken in this context. It can also mean a piece. You could read it as (broken) into pieces.

Stop using shitty googol translate, it sucks.
