Young designed and had built for fast, ultra-luxury coach service from Washington to Cincinnati. It incorporated most of Young’s forward-looking ideas about how railroads could recapture passengers by giving them everything they wanted and much more than they could get in other modes of transportation. It had a dome, family cars, children’s theaters and playrooms, almost as much lounge and non-revenue space as revenue seats, new design observation cars, twin-unit diners, and luxury lounges one of which had a rather famous tropical fish aquarium. The train was, however, canceled just before it was to be inaugurated because of financial problems and the cars were sold to several different railroads. Softbound, 8.5x11, 96 pages, 100+ photos & illustrations. Printed on quality 100-pound glossy paper for photographic enhancement. Visit our ebay store to view other books of interest.
