Modern Steel Pullmans.

Like those on the New Haven Merchants Limited - the ONLY way to get from NE's greatest cities.

Man. How many times am I going to have to warn you guys about including "other" in your poll choices... No joke. If SpaceMouse sees this he's going to really be ticked off.

Nah! Chip is gone for the rest of the week! Next week start putting "other" as a choice. [;)]

I'll say Pullman as well

Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO

We'll get there sooner or later!

Well let's see: The Overland in 1918 was the Overland Limited not express and the Super Chief didn't start running intil the 1930s and thetre's no way a 1918 steam engine would be the Acme of comfort so that leaves....

Tracklayer,

Your getting to be a real pain as this is the second time I've seen you post that.

I and I think most people really don't care what you or Spacemouse think. Get ticked off.

And besides - there is no OTHER - one of those is the correct answer.

I voted for "Modern Steel Pullmans", because I don't believe the Super Chief was around yet, and "comfort" most likely refers to passenger trains, so that leaves out Baldwin engines.[:D]

I voted Steel pullmans because they were considered more readily able to withstand accidents. Wood cars would shatter, splinter, and burn.
