With the conclusion of the economic conference, the power industry was designated as Austria's new pillar industry for the next decade, accompanied by heavy industry.
Up to this day, the scale of Austria's heavy industry has also reached astronomical figures. The main industries involved are: steel, metallurgy, coal, machinery, chemical engineering...
In terms of categorization, power can also be regarded as a type of heavy industry, the connection between the two is very tight. It was only singled out because it was just starting and had a very large industry scale on its own.
There can't be many pillar industries, so since power and heavy industry have become the new pillar industries, naturally, other industries have fallen from the "pillar industries."
Undoubtedly, what was replaced was "railways." It's not that railways have become unimportant, but rather, after over twenty years of hard work, most of Austria's railways had been completed.
