This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

No More Pullman Company in 1969
From the January 2, 2019, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1969, 50 Years Ago.
"Railroad sleeping cars, operated 110 years by the Pullman Co., are now in the hands of the 34 railroads which still pull them.
"On New Year's Day, Pullman ceased providing conductors, porters, linens and maintenance service for the cars."
That's How the Pullman Goes. --Cooter
