"Classic Trains magazine and filmmaker Rich Luckin present the rich story of Pullman, the company that built and operated most of America's sleeping cars. Part hospitality empire, part heavy manufacturer, part avenue for social change, Pullman both reflected and shaped America for more than a century. The rise, heyday, and sunset of a great institution are all in Pullman: America's Hotel on Wheels."--Container.
