Interior Pullman Car.
Beveled mirrors, ornate carvings, and polished brass were the hallmarks of travel in a Pullman parlor car, such as the one depicted here from 1893. First-class passengers enjoyed plush swivel seats and could eat their meals in equaling lavish dining cars. The wealthiest Pennsylvanians owned their own luxuriously appointed private cars.

August 6, 1943 Dear Ma, Boy is this wonderful. I’m in a Pullman (1) now. I have a lower bunk right by the window. We got the Pullman at El Paso. This is just like a holiday now. We have nice toilets & washrooms too. This is going to be the first time in some time I’ve taken my clothes [off] to sleep. We went through some awful hot desert to-day. We’re in Arizona now. We also saw some high mountains. It’s nice & cool now. From what I hear it gets cool at night in the desert. Well I guess that’s all for now. We’ll be in California to-morrow.
