Passenger cars

Passenger cars have reached a high stage of specialization. Engineering study has evolved, by stages, a unit that is safe, comfort table, and sturdy. The first passenger cars were high in proportion to their length, and were not fitted for movement upon rails. Their characteristics have gradually changed so as make them longer, lower, safer, more comfortable and convenient. Railway passenger equipment consists of many types: standard coaches, sleeping and parlor cars, dining cars, mail, express, and baggage cars, and others.

The modern day coach is quite a different type of conveyance from the old-fashioned car drawn by the Tom Thumb engine that was constructed more than a century ago. That car was a little larger than the stagecoach of its day, mounted on flanged wheels which passed in smooth fashion over iron-faced rails. The steel passenger car of today travelling over solid steel rails, on a ballasted roadbed, makes the modern trip by rail a safer and more comfortable experience than it was in the early days of railroading. Comfort and convenience now furnish the passengers with the installation of many devices: vestibuled platforms, roller bearings, steam heat, sanitary comforts, air-conditioning, ventilation, and attractive decoration and electric lighting effects.
