That is a nice photo. Good study in Pullman heavyweight sleeper interiors. Judging by the privacy partitions between each seating section, the car was probably rebuilt at some point. Early Pullman sleepers did not have the privacy partitions between sections. By any chance, was there a caption with the pic? I'm just curious if the car name was mentioned or maybe the train name / railroad. Thanks!

I tried to track this down but it was a post on FakeBook so it was lacking in information and I couldn't find anything else about it.

Thank you for checking. I tried to track it down through Google, but couldn't find it. Regardless, it is still an excellent pic. Thank you for sharing!
