JP Morgan’s Private Pullman Railcar,

Almost a hundred years ago, there were those who could outfit a private railcar the same way some today outfit private jets. 

This particular railcar, a 1925 Pullman, was the private car of financier J.P. Morgan Jr. Very few ever had the opportunity to travel like this, but you can see the obvious benefits it offered while avoiding the early roads or attempting to travel long distances in a Model T Ford. 

This masterpiece of railcar craftsmanship was completed in May of 1925 and it was named ERIE 400. The elegant private car is 85’ long and boasts an open platform, an observation room, four large bedroom suites, private baths, a dining room, full kitchen and crew quarters.

In addition to the work with LOC’s Douglass letters today, our Newberry event showcased a recently digitized box of Pullman porter employee records, and our hopes to digitize in the future and launch related transcription activities.

Remember that Christmas Santa's sleigh stalled on the tracks? That was the year the city's poor got a surprise venison Christmas dinner.

"That's the duty of the old," said the Librarian, "to be anxious on behalf of the young. And the duty of the young is to scorn the anxiety of the old."

- P. Pullman, Northern Lights

Hôtel Pullman à 25 (?) km à gauche après le (?) tunnel. Bref, j'ai beau essayer de déchiffrer cette pub, elle joue à cache-cache avec mes yeux. J'ai sorti mon arsenal de lunettes de lecture, de jumelles et même ma loupe, mais rien n'y fait. C'est peut-être un signe pour me dire de lâcher prise et d'accepter que certaines choses ne sont pas destinées à être lues par de simples mortel.les comme moi.

Troop train in the Sierras

A Southern Pacific 4-8-8-2 leads a long string of troop sleepers on snowy Donner Pass in the mid-1940s. Pullman-Standard built 2,400 of the boxcar-like sleepers between October 1943 and May 1946.

Pennsylvania Railroad - 12th Street Coach Yard by d.w.davidson Via Flickr: View looking north from the Taylor Street bridge depicts the far west end of the PRR 12th Street Coach Yard filled mostly with Pullman sleepers including one from Atlantic Coast Line for the South Wind service. Beyond the coach yard is PRR's Polk Street Freight House (Western Warehousing Co.). The date of the photograph and the photographer are unknown, but the red border Kodachrome dates it to at least 1958.
