DUPLEX-ROOMETTE:
This car gives Pullman passengers individual rooms
and the comforts of a "hotel on wheels." The rooms,
which are on two slightly varying floor levels, interlock,
permitting Pullman to build 24 luxury accommodations
in a single car. The roomy bed in the lower duplex
slides under the floor of the adjacent room, which
is two steps above aisle level. In the upper roomette,
the bed swings up into the wall. The duplexes become
private sitting rooms in daytime, contain their own
lavatory and toilet, and heat, light and air conditioning
are designed for the individual's personal control.
