Description

This map shows the Pullman Company’s sleeping car operations before it became a monopoly. The company’s cars did not cover the entire railroad network, and passengers would have to transfer to other cars run by other sleeping car companies to finish their journey. By 1900 Pullman would have complete control over railroad sleeping cars in the United States.
