Pullman Profile No. 2: The Standard 'K' Type Cars

A series of revealing images documents the incredible story of the so-called “standard” Pullman car from the 1920s, through the depressive 1930s, their revival and popularity in the early postwar period, and subsequent withdrawal from main line service in the 1960s. An extensive sequence of informative history details each batch of “K” types built from 1923 to 1927, prior to the advent of the all-steel Pullman car. Captured here is all the glamour and charm associated with the cars, complemented by readable, enthusiastic, and well-researched text, much of which has not previously been published before. Building upon the success of Pullman Profile No. 1: The 12-Wheel Cars, this latest volume in the series is certain not to disappoint.
