Claub,

Here is a little information about the railroad to Washington State. I think the trip took about a month, depending on the weather.

I don't think they were forced to go to the destination they put on the ship's manifest. My Nonno said he was going to Boston, but went to New Jersey.

Some had help from their families, or maybe an employer might pay the way. Otherwise, they had to pay themselves.

I believe this is the right information, but if I am wrong, anyone can feel free to correct me.
