The Arrival of the Train in Trieste
Keywords:
railways, construction, Ljubljana, TriesteAbstract
The article deals with the opening of the last part of the Southern Railway, stretching from Ljubljana to Trieste. Great expectations in merchant circles in Trieste that the opening of the Southern Railway might cause an economic boom in the port of Trieste and weaken the superiority of the North German ports, proved to be only an illusion very quickly. At the time of the opening of the last part of the Southern Railway in July 1857, the Hapsburg Empire was still considered to be a kind protector by the elite of Trieste. Later on, however, it became the major culprit for all the difficulties that its economy had to face.
