Chapter 388: Locomotives and Weapons

While the war for Granada increased in intensity, Berengar was at home swamped with the business of industrializing the Kingdom of Austria. At the moment, he was viewing the reports on the progress of his railroad, which was being constructed between the capital and the Kingdom's prominent port city. 

At roughly 292  miles in total length, the railway was nearing completion after months of strenuous effort by the laborers who opted to build such an important invention. Berengar had made sure to pay anyone remotely associated with constructing the railroad a special bonus. Thus driving the desire for skilled workers to aid in its development.

The first railway would be constructed in Austria by the end of winter, after which Berengar could begin expanding it to all corners of his kingdom. With this in mind, Berengar started designing a proper locomotive to drive his train cars.
