The story of the Pullman car . s with powerful springs totake up the jars and jolts of the road Digitized by Microsoft® Digitized by Microsoft® HOW THE CARS ARE MADE when the white-jacketed porters will open their doorsin welcome to their first passengers. Above the win-dows the word Pullman in dull gold will carrryfrom coast to coast the name of their the windows is the name of the car, selectedusually with local significance in consideration ofthe lines over which that particular car will operate. In a corner of the great yards at a track endstands a little yellow car, smaller than many of ourinterurban trolley cars, the paint peeling from theboards that have seen the changing seasons of halfa century. It is old number 9, not the earliest,but one of the early Pullmans.
