Pullman cars

Pullman cars are luxury train coaches designed for comfortable, private travel. Originating in the late 19th century, they feature plush interiors, sleeping compartments, dining areas, and amenities for a more refined experience. These cars are often separated from standard passenger cars, offering a higher level of comfort and service. Pullman cars became synonymous with elegance and convenience, making long-distance train journeys more enjoyable. Today, the term is still associated with upscale rail travel, and many vintage Pullman cars are preserved or restored for heritage and luxury train services.
