FIRST PULLMAN CAR CONDUCTOR
TELLS OF EARLY EXPERIENCES


conference it was decided by the pas
sengers that nothing would be gained
by presenting Mr.. Pullman with o gold
headed cane in recognition of his mar
velous ingenuity, says the Kansas City
Star
Mr.. Barnes is IS years old today and it
probably would be unfair to visit him
with the punishment to which he is
clearly entitled, but he told last week
how he stood idly by and permitted the
first Pullman porter in history to NAL
treat a passenger with a whisk broom
and collect the original Pullman tip. He
was q husky lad of % summers at that
time and his muscles were in a good
state of preservation, but he did not in
terfere. All, wasted youth.
First Pullman Car
The first Pullman car in America was
run over the Chicago and Alton railroad
and was built In the shops of the company
in Bloomington, Ill. under tho direction
of Mr.. Pullman himself. The car was a
remodeled day coach, and there were but
four compartments, eight berths, four
upper and four lower. Then. as now, the
lower berth enjoyed a monopoly OF pub
lie popularity. and the upper berths were
vacant on that first memorable night. All
the passengers were from Bloomington
and there were no women on the Sleep
ing car. The people OF Bloomington, lit
tie reckoning that history was being
made in their midst. did not come down
to the station to see the Pullman cars
premier. There was no crowd. and the
car. lighted by candles, moved away in
solitary grandeur, IL such it might be
called.
Mr.. Barnes described the first crude car
in his office in Chanute last week. He
retired as division superintendent of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa F'e railway
in 1910, after a railroad service covering
Sc years, beginning as the first Pullman
conductor in 1857. Among his other dis
tinctions he was conductor of the first
train that left Kansas City over what
now Is the Frisco railroad.
"Was Primitive Thing"
THE first Pullman car" Mr.. Barnes
said. was a primitive thing. Besides
being lighted by candles, it was heated
by coal stoves in each end of the car;
there were no carpets on the floor. The
interior of the car was rearranged in
this way: The backs of the seats were
hinged and to maze up the lower berth
the porter merely dropped the back of
| the seat until it was level with the seat
| itself. Upon this he placed mattress and
| a blanket. There were no sheets on the
first Pullman cars. The upper berth was
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-09

/ suspended from the ceiling of the car by
ropes and pulleys, a rope attached to
/ each of the four corners OF the berth, and
during the day the berth was pulled up
until It hugged the ceiling, while at night
1t was suspended about half way between
the ceiling of the car and the floor. The
first Pullman car was equipped with four
wheeler trucks. There We're no six
wheeler trucks of any kind In those days.
There has been little. If any change
in the cost of Pullman berths in the last
56 years. The passengers who occupied
berths between Bloomington and Chicago
on that first night paid $50 for them,
which Is, believe, about the Pullman
tariff today. But in those days of the
first sleeping cars the berth fare was
$50, regardless of the distance. Our sys-

81 g. day for my work.
"I remember on the first night | had TO
compel the passengers to take their boots
off before they got into the berths, They
wanted to keep them on; seemed afraid to
take them off.
Planned Another Car
after the first car had made a few
trips Mr.. Pullman, who then was in the
mining business in Colorado and also
was a contractor in Chicago, decided to
build another car. He mad vision, despite
the discouraging outlook. 1t was much
more elaborate than the first car, and not
altogether unlike the car in use today.
Tt was higher and the interior finish was
better. He made his plans, and the con-
struction of the car was in the hands of
man named Field in the Chicago and
Alton shops at Bloomington. l was con-
ductor on this ear also, which made Its
first trip from Alton. ILL.,, to Chicago. At
that time there was no bridge at St
Louis, and the passengers were ferred
across TO Alton. Mr.. Pullman made the
first trip ON this car also. 1t took nearly
a year to build Ii, and Mr.. Pullman did
not see it until It was finished, when he
came to Alton to make the initial trip
After this the Pullman company began to
build cars as rapidly as they could. and
| think the Pullman company was or
ganized at about this time. Before the
Pullman company got really started he
had several cars built in the elst

! car was a fine car. and he replied briefly,
for he was a silent man: 1T ought to be,
