The Reschen Pass Railway and the Great Catastrophe
Partial1820 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.
Partial Fulfilment
The Reschenscheideck railway over the Reschen Pass was surveyed and planned several times across the 19th and 20th centuries but was never completed — projects were repeatedly interrupted by war and political upheaval.
