On the rails On the way.
When the first train of the imperial and royal private Kaiser Franz-Josefs Railway departed in 1870, the Vienna station building did not even exist. The terminus station, built later, marked the end of the only railway line that had been established from the provinces to Vienna. Prince Johann Adolf II zu Schwarzenberg had it built. Soon a lively tourist traffic developed to the fashionable Bohemian health resorts. The heyday of the railway fell in the era "when Bohemia was still part of Austria", as it says in a well-known song. Branch lines branched off in all directions at many points. The demarcation of the borders after the two World Wars put an end to the expansion of the lines.
The former director of the Alsergrund District Museum, Alfred Wolf, who grew up near the Franz-Josefs-Bahn, helped to design the anniversary exhibition as a member of the board of the "100 Years of the Franz-Josefs-Bahn" celebratory committee. He is already known to readers through the historical illustrated book "Wien-Alsergrund" and the compilation "Denkmäler und Zierbrunnen in Wien-Alsergrund". In this illustrated book he not only shows photographs of the railway, but also gives a vivid impression of the charm of the towns and landscapes as well as of life and travel from Vienna to wine, forest and water.
