the Orient Express

  1. There's a lavish Pullman sleeper car at the Blue Mountain Lake Museum in the Adirondacks. I can't remember if it was his personnel car or not as it was probably twenty plus years ago i was there. But pretty amazing to think about that kind of wealth at that time in history.

    1. Yes indeed... enormous wealth to have your own Pullman to tour around the country with!
      Did you see the coverage I did in the past about Pullmans and the people who owned them? http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Pullman
      But especially this post http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/06/pullman-train-cars-epitome-of-luxury.html

  2. No I haven't but I'll see if I can find it in your links. I love this stuff. I actually have a cd somewhere that I bought on a PBS fund drive that covered the train history in the Adirondack
