At the Lincoln family's Vermont estate, now a museum, an important piece of American history pulls into the station.

An exhibition of European royal trains is to go on show at the Dutch Rail Museum in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Books, songs and movies have long-romanticised what it’s like to travel overnight on a sleeper train. Judy Garland took us on a musical ride along the Santa Fe Railway in The Harvey Girls, while Bing Crosby and company whisked us across the American plains to the mountains of Vermont aboard a beautifully vintage streamliner train…

I enjoy reflecting on the cars of 100 years ago, it's amazing that they were all simple enough for a gearhead like me to work on, repair, or improve on. What do you make of the above tire covers? A primitive retread? And that company name, Leather Tire Goods... what leather tire goods did they make? I think I've pointed out several times that roads were so bad that tires were lucky to last a couple thousand miles, just last week I found a photo of a the "3000 mile club" tires that were amazing enough to get that kind of recognition. the above is a Winton look through the 6 issues on http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22Automobiles%20--%20Periodicals%22

When the legendary director Cecil B. DeMille first saw the baroque interior, he supposedly said, "Tell the madame I'll have a drink, but I'm too old to go upstairs." Original owners of Pullman Palacecars were EF Hutton, and the Vanderbilt's had at least 3 of them, Harry, Willie, and Alice had one of their own... cattle barons bought them too. The most famous stock holders of the Pullman company were JJ Astor, Ellen Banker, Chauncey Depew, Jay Gould, Julia Grant, John Hay, Henry Morgan, J Pierpont Morgan, JD Rockefeller, and the Vanderbilts These are steam locomotives at the factory to move the cars around. Not big, because they weren't moving a whole train I've posted one photo somewhere in the past of a vehicle like the one above... can't recall where it is. This was just to move things about at the factory The above shows the accordian wall device to allow people to travel between cars without being exposed to the outside soot from the locomotive exhaust and weather Above and below show the factory method of moving the cars sideways on the "Table" The above cutaway is similar to the Pullman Progress poster detail pieces below the above poster has been put to use on a website http://thelibrary.org/lochist/frisco/history/pullman.cfm so that you can click on each of the railcars (like you see below) and get a full page, big detailed look at them, and their description. the guys in the above photo are the Chicago White Sox, February 27, 1910 - at the Royal Gorge in Colorado on their way to San Francisco for their spring training. This photo was taken along the Arkansas River. All of these unless noted otherwise, are from one website http://www.pullman-museum.org/cgi-bin/pvm/newGetSubjects.pl?subject=Pullman%20Train%20Cars which has much much more to see. This is just a quick look at the elegant luxury of the fortunately wealthy from 1860-1940's and the signature way of traveling in style and opulance that very few ever could manage.

I guess very few were ever exported to the wealithiest of other countries, but that those may have greater numbers that are allowed to ride the rails for he right price, condition irrelevant. President Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln, assumed charge of the company after the founder, George Pullman died, 1898-1911, and renamed it 'Pullman Company.' Lincoln preferred a simple elegance to Pullman's previous luxury cars, and began revising the way Pullman cars were created. During Lincoln's tenure, Pullman purchased the Wagner Palace Car Company, and the Union Palace Car Company The company continued to produce quality train cars. It suffered immensely when automobile ownership began to eschew passenger train travel, but continued working with freight cars and other means. It acquired the competition and enjoyed much success.
