The illness of a woman caused a Dutchman to build the famous railway line along and in the bed of the Rhine, also known as the Swiss Grand Canyon. The second pilot tells the story of banker Jan Willem Holsboer, who traveled to Davos in Switzerland in 1887 in connection with the health of his wife. He finally realized his life's work there, the Rhätische Bahn.
