Thanks again for the responses and information. On the subject of books, I found "The Story of the Pullman Car" written in 1917 at http://www.archive.org/details/storyofpullmancahusb

John, Bob and Rich

Thank you for your responses and information. It's more complicated that I anticipated so I'll come back with more queries later.

In passing, I've just found an 1897 article about a train built for the Chicago - St Paul service (Burlington Limited) 
"Probably the finest train of cars in the world was recently completed at the Pullman Car Works  for service on the CB&Q.  The names of these cars were "St Paul" for the composite car, "Parthenon" for the straight sleeper, "Apollo" for the compartment car, "Alma" for the chair car and "Winona" for the day coach." (I note there is no mention of dining cars.)

The article, which includes a photo of the train and interior shots, extols the quality of equipment and their beauty. Would I be correct, then, that Parthenon and Apollo (together with Pantheon and Angelo) were owned by Pullman and the other cars were owned by the Burlington?

Thanks again
 
Rupert
