Sleeping Car. F cond. (Tr. 408)$375.
The Pullman Sleeping Car was invented by George Pullman in 1857. The Pioneer
(1865) was the first rail car designed and built for sleeper service. Pullman
constructed this car higher, wider, and longer than day coaches to accommodate
its new features. A raised roof provided not only a higher interior ceiling, but
a place to install windows to improve ventilation. Folding upper berths first
appeared, and a hot air furnace (located under the floor) replaced the dangerous
wood-burning stoves.
