This 83’ heavyweight 12-1 sleeper is painted Pullman Green with gold logo and lettering. It was built by Pullman Standard in 1910 and runs on six-wheel passenger trucks. From 1910 through 1930 Pullman built over 8,000 steel sleeping, parlor and club/lounge cars: almost half of these were the famous 12 section – 1 drawing room (‘12-1’) sleepers. The introduction of the steel cars brought the end of the luxurious, artisan-crafted, and custom designed wooden cars which had been the rule since the 1880s. With the opening of the Pennsylvania Station in New York in 1910 and the Grand Central Terminal in 1913, passenger safety in the tunnels approaching these buildings demanded a more noncombustible material.
