At the height of Pullman's operations in the late 1920s, its fleet of more than 8,000 cars carried up to 39 million passengers annually-a number equal to nearly one-third the population of the United States at the time. This wonderfully illustrated history examines the diverse fleet, from the ornate wooden cars to the steel heavyweights and on to the aluminum streamlined era. An expert history written and compiled by three acknowledged Pullman experts accompanies period photos, advertising, and car diagrams, tracing the composition and evolution of Pullman's fleet and its use on star passenger trains across the nation.
