Since 1867 Pullman's history was fraught with triumphs and tragedies, from the early crude 'shelf' beds, to the classic prewar heavyweight era, to the postwar streamlined cars; More then 200 photographs and illustration bring this historical trip to life, showing car interiors and exteriors views of the trains upon which they operated. Andover Junction Publications, hard cover with jacket, 156 pages, 10.5 x 10.5 x .75 in., color and b&w photographs and illustrations.
