Pullman Company Palace Car, ca. 1869
George Pullman developed his Palace Car Company to counter discomfort on long rail trips. After he secured the right for one of his cars to serve as Abraham Lincoln’s funeral car in 1865, the interest in Pullman’s sleeping cars greatly expanded. In 1867, Pullman incorporated Pullman’s Palace Car Company with several investors and devoted himself to manufacturing sleeping cars. Photograph by Capt. A. J. Russell.
