The railroad didn't help them get to the states because they had to take a ship from Europe to NYC. There is a big ocean they had to cross so they went steerage on ships.
Many new immigrants passes over the Atlantic from Europe in the early 1900's and late 1800's. Steerage was a horrible way to travel, but it was also the cheapest. Most of the trips were 8-14 days. 8-14 days with no ventilation, 6-8 foot ceilings, hay for bedding, and in the best case senarios 1 toilet for every 47 people. These horrible conditions spread contagious diseases and sea-sickness ran ramped. Some have compared these steerage rides to the slaves rides with no chains. If your ancestors traveled in steerage be happy they made it, or you would't be alive.
