Train aficionados will relish this informative volume on the Pullman Company, which built and serviced fleets of sleeping and parlor cars that set a standard of comfort in railroad travel. Welsh, a historian of American railway cars and trains, and Howes, a former director of The Pullman Company and a former vice president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, bring intimate and detailed knowledge to the history of the company presented in the text. Published in a horizontal format (the book is 10.25x10.5"), the volume is heavily illustrated with historic photos in color and b&w, Pullman advertising, plans of the cars, tickets, and other memorabilia.
