While Bruno was currently not in a dire need to commute to Berlin every morning, and return home every night. The same could not be said for his eldest son Erwin.
Erwin, who was now approaching his 40th birthday within the year, still had to travel to the corporate headquarters of his family's industrial empire, which was located in Berlin.
In the morning he would say goodbye to his wife, mother, father, children, and siblings, after sharing a breakfast with them. Where he would then board the train, and head to Berlin.
The journey was roughly 75 – 90 minutes between the two cities, as in recent years the maglev rail had replaced the older, but more conventional high speed rails. Increasing the speeds significantly of the trains, and thus transit from around the Reich as a whole.
For longer journeys like from Innsbruck to Saint Petersburg, flights were still optimal for saving time. But across the borders of the fatherland itself, nothing beat the Maglev.
