Pullman Car Company Drawings List Description: 2441 engineering drawings in 101 rolls, related to the construction and maintenance of Pullman carriages. System of Arrangement: The original order of the collection has been lost. The drawings have therefore been listed as boxed. Physical Characteristics: The drawings are largely copy tracings on paper or linen. There are some drawings in pencil on cartridge paper and tracing paper and occasionally other copying processes, such as ozalid on plastic film, are evident. Administrative/Biographical History: The Pullman Company Ltd was formed in Britain in 1882, based on the Pullman concept of luxury rail travel in the United States and established under US licence and control. The idea of the Pullman car had already been introduced to the UK by the Midland Railway, with a specially chartered train taking a party of people on a tour of England and Scotland in 1876. The Midland railway imported 37 cars and erected them at their Derby Works. They ran them on contract until 1888. Other railway companies also experimented with Pullman services, but gradually developed their own improved rolling stock and ceased their contracts with Pullman. In 1905 the business was transferred to UK control under the chairmanship of Lord Dalziel, and in 1915 was re-founded as the Pullman Car Company Limited. Following the formation of the UK based company production of coaching stock was gradually moved to the UK. A small number of vehicles were manufactured by the Pullman Car Company’s own workshops at Preston Park in Brighton. The majority were built by private manufacturers such as the Birmingham Carriage and Wagon Company, Cravens of Sheffield, the Clayton Wagon Company of Lincoln, the Midland Carriage and Wagon Company and the Metropolitan Carriage and Wagon Company (later Metropolitan-Cammell). -

Christine Grewcock Photo by Brian Harrington Spier, via Creative Commons License Curator The Southern Railway of England was formed in 1923 by the grouping of several Jack Green smaller railways in southwestern England, along the southern coast, to London. The largest lines incorporated into the Southern Railway were London & South Newsletter Western Railway (LSWR), the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway J.T. Thorpe (LBSC) and the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR). The railway remained in operation until 1948, when the railways were nationalized, and the Southern Railway became the Southern Region of British Railways. The construction of what was to become the Southern Railway began in 1838 with the opening of the London and Southampton Railway, which was renamed the London & South Western Railway Next The railway was noted for its astute use of public relations and a coherent Meeting management structure headed by Sir Herbert Walker. At 2,186 miles (3,518 km), Apr. 3, the Southern Railway was the smallest of the "Big Four" railway companies and, 2014 unlike the others, the majority of its revenue came from passengers rather than 7:10 PM freight. It created what was at that time the world's largest electrified railway system and the first electrified InterCity route (London—Brighton). -
