So this was a very, very flat route from Wolfsburg, the HQ, through Vienna in Austria, Poznań in Poland, and then on to Olomouc and Czech Republic.

In the first half of the 19th century, railways were still a brand new idea, and the Austrian Empire, of which Prague was then part, of course, was just beginning to connect its biggest cities with iron rails and steam engines.
Vít PohankaCORRESPONDENT
16:32
The very first steam railways in this region were laid out from Vienna northwards, linking the imperial capital first with the Moravian towns like Brzezslav, then Brno, Olomouc and beyond, creating a kind of backbone of what would later become the Czech railway network.
Vít PohankaCORRESPONDENT

Vít PohankaCORRESPONDENT

The Austrian Empire was stitching itself together with rails starting from Vienna and pushing north and east through Brno and Olomouc as I mentioned and eventually all the way to Prague.
Vít PohankaCORRESPONDENT
19:29
So this station was born out of that ambition and from the very beginning it connected Prague not just to nearby towns but to the wider European world and once the railway reached Prague things moved quite quickly from here tracks soon pushed north through Bohemia linking the city with the industrial regions of what we now call Northern Bohemia and then on across the border into Saxony in Germany.
