<p>During their hay day, if my experience is any indication, the Pullman porters were up most of the night on the premier trains, i.e. Broadway Limited, Capitol Limited, Twentieth Century Limited, between the east coast and Chicago. If for no other reason they had to spend a considerable portion of the trip shinning shoes, which was a no cost service offered to Pullman passengers.</p> <p>Where did the crews spend their away from home time, presumably using some of it to catch-up on the sleep that they missed on the over night runs to or from the east coast?</p>
