Long distance passenger train travel wasn't all that it was cracked up to be during the early 1900's era, as demonstrated by this preserved heavyweight passenger car from the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad.
Interiors on basic sleeping cars, were compact and crampy. The passengers only real measure of privacy, was this hanging curtain. The folding bed was literally in the aisle.Passengers walking through the car late at night, might be disturbing to some.
