A feast for anyone who loves Pullman cars or the golden era of passenger train travel, this book is a tour of the interior and exteriors of George Pullman's brilliant invention, the sleeping car. As beautiful as any hotel, the luxurious Pullman cars captured the imagination of the nation and their interiors were some of the most deluxe in the country. Page after page of black and white photos bring the Pullmans back to life and allow us to relive the comfy and elegant style our grandparents enjoyed. Mr. Beebe's captions are intelligent, informative, and by turns cheerful and elegiac. 575 pages.
