ISBN: 9780785832393.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of Americas greatest business enterprises, the Pullman Company provided outstanding service aboard a vast fleet of railroad passenger cars that could be found in almost every nook and cranny of the United States. This illustrated history examines Pullmans diverse fleet, from its spectacular custom-built wooden cars of the nineteenth century to steel heavyweight cars in the prewar years and on into the lightweight streamlined era.\nPullman cars are a tribute to a hard-working generation of men and women who worked to bring the coasts of the United States together efficiently and in style. Author Joe Welsh includes period photos, many in rare color, as well as car diagrams and ads that help trace the development, composition, and evolution of the historically and culturally significant Pullman fleet, including the gamut of sleeper, parlor, and restaurant cars.\nTake an interesting look into the time period that relied on train cars, as well as the classic style of the cars themselves. This is a fitting tribute to the former cultural icons aboard which strode giants of American life, such as Babe Ruth and Clark Gable, as well as first-time travelers from small-town America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crestline Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45256075018293,"sku":"ByrdShop_0785832394","price":35.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780785832393_a7f8e9ad-97a1-43df-aa9e-5601679dc2a2.jpg?v=1779936694","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-cars-of-pullman-9780785832393","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
