A hundred years ago, traveling by Pullman Car was an event not often matched, and never forgotten. Taking ones’ time to travel by rail, having all the comforts in life, savoring fine food, appreciating the varied scenery, enjoying impeccable service and sharing in fellowship of traveling companions is the very definition of the golden age of railroading.
