Follow the fascinating developments during these years with an inside look at the working notebooks of Pullman's Senior Inspectors. Includes historical photos, color samples, and detailed lettering diagrams.

(Classic chronicle of the era when sleeping and dining car...)
Classic chronicle of the era when sleeping and dining cars suddenly changed overland travel from barbarous to opulent, when the compounds and Pacifics and 4-8-4's sliced hours and days out of the timetables, when the amenities of going places included mobile barbershops, libraries, and dining cars with wine lists, and when such name trains as the Cascades and Crescents and Centurys charged along the rails. The book provides a detailed look at the interiors and exteriors of the famous crack trains such as the Twentieth Century Limited, the Broadway Limited and the Empire Builder and about twenty others. Also includes a fascinating chapter on Pullmans in Cuba, interurbans (such as the Empire United Railways and the South Shore Line), and a list of major American railroad paint schemes. Illustrated throughout with black and white photographs, schematic diagrams of Pullman cars, and maps. With several foldout pages reproducing rare Pullman advertising brochures for their sleeping cars. Foreward by Lucius Beebe. 434 pages with index.
