The train departed from Fontainebleau Town heading directly north, soon merging from the branch line onto the main Paris-Strasbourg route, then continued traveling north-northwest.
Due to the insufficient power of steam engines in the mid-19th century, the train operated at a speed of only 40-60 km/h, allowing the passengers to fully enjoy the scenery along the journey.
Sitting by the window side, Friedrich placed both hands on the glass, gazing intently at the beautiful landscape outside. From Friedrich's expression, Jerome Bonaparte could see joy and excitement.
"Father, look over there!"
Friedrich shouted loudly. Jerome Bonaparte looked in the direction Friedrich was pointing.
About 300 meters from the train, a few low cottages stood on the field, beside which was a windmill roughly three stories high.
Jerome Bonaparte suddenly recalled recently explaining the utility of windmill houses to Friedrich, using pictures as references.
