Although compartments and drawing rooms were becoming increasingly popular with travelers in the 1920s, Pullman (and most railroads) still favored open section cars, which carried more passengers and generated more revenue per trip. As a result, the 10-1-2 became one of Pullman's most common heavyweight cars, equipped with 10 open sections, two compartments and a single drawing room. Based on cars built to Pullman Plan #3585, Lot #4728 in late 1923, this model is typical of cars modernized with air conditioning in the 1930s, some of which remained in operation into the 1960s. |
