Anotácia knihy

Excerpt from Railway and Locomotive Engineering, 1928, Vol. 41: A Practical Journal of Motive Power, Rolling Stock and Appliances Lindbergh has bro-ken another precedent. Many fauci ful names have been applied to sleepers and parlor cars, but the rule observed by such institutions as the Louvre and the Hall of Fame is also followed in the Pullman Comp-any, to honor no living man. Yet the gold letters, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, were recently inscribed on the side of a Pullman car. This departure from the traditional practice is regarded as an indication that the nomenclature of these cars is to become more elastic. In the past, it appears, effort has been concentrated on finding strange and sometimes um pronounceable names to impress rather than to interest the countryside. It is related that several years ago, when the company took over '400 cars from a rival concern and names had to be supplied overnight, officials spent many hours in the Chicago Public Library digging through musty volumes in their research. Painters received the list the following morning and soon 400 cars went journeying forth with new names. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
