As an aside to all the "vaspálya" topic. The railroad was used to fastrack the silkworm trade that was happenning and they had a very efficient and fast service to accomplish this as otherwise they would die or be useless.

Thanks, Trying to figure out how my family got to Hamburg. Looking at Magyarorszag, also, I am beginning to think they had to go 90 miles south to Budapest and leave from there. Every other route I tried to follow from Jelsava the train tracks ended at some town and horse and buggy would have to be used to get to the next town and pick up the train. It would have taken forever to get to Hamburg that way. So far it looks like they could have stayed on the train from Jelsava to Budapest to Hamburg. Joyce
