Pullman
Pullman refers to George Pullman, an American inventor and industrialist known for revolutionizing train travel in the late 19th century. He designed luxurious, comfortable sleeping cars for trains, called "Pullman cars," which allowed passengers to travel long distances while resting in their own private compartments. These cars improved travel comfort and efficiency, making long journeys more enjoyable and accessible. Pullman’s innovations also led to the development of company towns built around his factories, highlighting his influence on transportation and urban development during that era.
