The article provides a characteristic of transporting the wounded and ill soldiers in Europe and USA by railway in the “long” 19th century, as this era was titled by the British historian Eric Hobsbawm. Along the works of modern historiography, the interpretation is based on the original written documents authored by significant doctors of the German-speaking area living in the said period. Progress in the given area was conditioned by war conflicts in the European and US territory. This was a complicated process, resulting in specifically constructed hospital or ambulance vehicles. The greatest activity in this respect was developed by Prussia (later Germany) and Austria. Development in the USA took its own, specific way.
