1820 AD — Fließ, Tyrol, Austria
Three times an attempt will be made to build the railway over the Reschen Pass, and three times it will fail, because at each beginning a war breaks out. A bridge spanning from the Inn Valley to the Pitztal will be begun but will remain unfinished — and before it is completed, the great world catastrophe will begin.
