When I was kid, my mom and I travelled Amtrak from New York to Philadelphia, in the early 70’s. We had a double sleeper room, and the porter was one of these gentlemen. My mom commented what a nice man he was. It was a great experience and I thank you men very much.
Can you imagine getting settled in and the conductor or Porter is like "Get off! This is your stop!" Or the Conductor throws you off the train for snoring! 😂
when it comes to passenger cars only one name comes to mind Pullman. George Sebastian Pullman is the inventor of the passenger car in his plant in Chicago he built all of the cars that we see on our passenger trains. somebody's Passenger cars are still in existence although they might be old they are still trustworthy and the railroads still use them excursions and occasionally they do haul passengers. the symbol of the Pullman cars are the attendances also known as the Pullman Porters it is their job to make sure that you are having a good time when you are aboard a train commuter or passenger they are there and they are there to answer your questions. today by executive order the city of Pullman is now a national park dedicated to the man who gave us the passenger car.
It was somewhat gradual. Did you watch the video? Also, many of the porters had purchased homes, put their kids through college and acquired thrifty spending habits.
Pullman History and the Blacks not treated as equals is the same in Canada of Women always treated as servants and non-persons including up to now, 2017. I was in September, 2017 was sexually assaulted. The more education on RUclips, to talk and show humans and how equality is our human right to be equality always with no exceptions!
The foundation of the Civil Rights movement was built on the Porters Union, good on you A.Phillip Randolph!!! Your contribution is appreciated.

i love the brotherhood of porters.... awesome
Enjoyable thank you. Awful that the porters were treated so bad though
Imagine traveling back to a time warp to the golden era of passenger trains with these Pullman porters that treat you like a “so-called" VIP.

Budd cars come to mind too, they still run the 1950s cars in Canada on the route called "the Canadian"
passenger service peaked in 1946 and Pullman employees all lost everything to the airlines.

The pullman company also made the r46 subway cars
