custom designed wooden cars which had been the rule since the 1880s. Pullman's Heavyweight construction was modular,

Passenger Cars
This 83' heavyweight 3-2 observation car is painted Pullman Green with gold logo and lettering. It was built by Pullman
Standard in the mid-1920s and runs on six-wheel passenger trucks. Plan 3959D was the common "end-of-train" car style for
many passenger trains throughout the early part of the 20th century. The introduction of the steel cars brought the end of the
luxurious, artisan-crafted, and custom designed wooden cars which had been the rule since the 1880s. Pullman's Heavyweight
construction was modular, making it possible for floor plans to economically evolve with the times.

wooden cars which had been the rule since the 1880s. With the opening of the Pennsylvania Station in New York in 1910
and the Grand Central Terminal in 1913, passenger safety in the tunnels approaching these buildings demanded a more
