Interesting facts behind the gigantic travel drama of
Pullman!
• The
Pullman Company maintains a fleet of some 4,000
sleeping cars. From this fleet the railroads request
cars as the need arises, and The Pullman Company
provides
the conductors, porters and many other personnel
who serve you unseen when you travel by Pullman.
• In
an average week The Pullman Company serves more than
250,000 travelers!
• One
week's Pullman service requires the help
of about 1,400 conductors, 6,500 porters, a small
army of car
cleaners and hundreds of maintenance specialists.
• The
Pullman laundries wash and iron some 2,000,000
sheets, 2,100,000 pillow slips, plus 2,600,000
towels and 900,000
other pieces every month.
• Take the world's greatest hotel, multiply its operation
many times -- and then put the whole thing on wheels.
That will give you some idea of the size of Pullman's
operation. Today, practically every railroad in the nation
offers the modern services of The Pullman Company.
