Andreas Ratzlaff family emigration; train across Germany

After the Ratzlaffs, Wedels and Unruhs boarded the train in either Ratibor or Myslowitz, they would finally have truly been on their way to Bremen, Germany.  The train route after the German border stations would have been Oppeln, Breslau (Wroclaw), Liegnitz, Guben, Frankfurt and then Berlin:

Just west of Berlin, the train may have stopped at Ruhleben, Germany.  During World War II, Ruhleben would become a Nazi camp, but in 1907 it was the last immigrant station where the travelers would be inspected a last time before being sent on to Bremen or Hamburg.  http://library.ndsu.edu/grhc/history_culture/history/journey.html

West of Ruhleben, the railway route came to be known as the “America Line”  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_Line.  Tens of thousands of immigrants traveled this route by train to their ports of departure in northern Germany.  In 1907, the Ratzlaffs, Wedels and Unruhs also traveled this way:

This is a timetable chart for the route from Berlin to Bremen from June, 1906.  The timetable for May, 1907, probably looked very similar:
