(erielack) Emigrant Cars?
I was browsing the 1914 Annual Report on George Elwood's site and, looking
thorugh the equipment inventory, found this:
Emigrant
1914 1913
9 12
This is sort of embedded in the passenger equipment inventory. Seems like these
were some special kind of cars ? What were these cars? How were they different
from the other passenger equipment? Any photos?
I assume these were used to take new immigrant workers from the Hoboken
Pullman/Immigrant pier out to their slavery...er... new jobs in the coal
fields...
thanks in advance
