Railways?

As I recall from visiting the military museum in Santiago, it claims Chile was first to use railways in war, to transport troops during the revolution of 1851.

(I also cherish another Chilean military first, the first sinking of an armoured warship by a powered torpedo, in 1891. The ship that launched the torpedo was Chilean, while the target was ... Chilean.)

However, the Chilean railway claim neglects the fact that railways also played an important part in the Hungarian War of Independence a couple of years earlier in 1848-1849. Apart from shifting troops, guns, ammunition and other supplies, at one point an Austrian officer raised the alarm about an approaching Hungarian army by racing back to Pest in a loco that had been held ready for that purpose.
