Join us at the Garland Landmark Museum on Saturday, December 13, from 3 to 5 p.m. for FREE holiday photos on the Pullman Railcar!! Bring your family and your phone and we'll take your photo for you.Built in 1910 by the Pullman Company, this train car was labeled no. 582 and classified as a coach-smoker. It represents a period in which a rapid transition was being made from all wood to all steel construction in railroad passenger cars; the 582 has a steel underframe with a wood body. From 1910 until 1930, this car was used in mainline service behind steam locomotives on the Santa Fe, making numerous trips between Chicago, the West Coast, and the Gulf, playing a vital role in troop transportation during World War I. In 1930 it was renumbered 1000 and the steam heat was replaced by a coal fired water circulating system. In 1949, it was assigned a third number, 193965, and was removed from revenue service and rebuilt as a work train car with living accommodations for a bridge foreman and his family. The Santa Fe railroad donated the car for use at the Garland Landmark Museum in 1978.
