Der dritte Teil behandelt die Bahnen im Westen der Donaumonarchie: die Arlbergbahn von 1884, die Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Bahn, heute als Westbahn bekannt, und die Brennerbahn.
In this episode we take the way west. The Arlberg Railway, opened in 1884, enabled smooth passenger and goods traffic to Vorarlberg. The Western Railway, originally called the "Imperial-Royal Privileged Empress Elisabeth Railway", runs from Vienna to Munich. Since 1863, the "Brenner Railway" has lead over the Brenner Pass to Lake Garda. The film delves deep into the history of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the early days of European railways.
