During the daytime, berth and section passengers are accommodated in comfortable sofa seats, especially suited for lounging or window gazing. Individual reading lights are provided and there is ample room for luggage and wraps. Completely equipped toilet and dressing rooms elsewhere in the car are always available.
Note: A Section is the space of both a lower and upper berth, but where one berth only will be prepared for night use. Where lower and upper berths within the confines of a section are purchased for separate use, the accommodations furnished will be as described and pictured under the heading Upper Berth and Lower Berth
Where a section for single occupancy is purchased the occupant has exclusive use of all the facilities in the section, including both seats, extra luggage space and extra pillows and blankets as desired. In the use of a section in nighttime service, as pictured here, both the upper and lower berth mattresses are placed on the lower berth to make for more restful sleep. The upper berth is closed to provide more head room and four clothes hangars are furnished.
UPPER BERTH-see picture below
Lowest priced of all Pullman sleeping accommodations, the upper berth is a full-size comfortable bed equipped with a soft, sleep-inviting mattress. The bed is prepared with crisp linen, warm blankets and two fluffy pillows. Other conveniences include clothes hangars, a rack for toilet articles and under clothing, individually controlled reading lights and a porter call bell. A safety ladder makes access and exit easy. Berth curtains assure complete privacy.
LOWER BERTH-see picture below
The cushions of the daytime section seats drop down to form a base for the innerspring mattress of the lower berth. There's a shelf for toilet articles or an overnight case, hangers and a rack for clothing, heavy curtains to assure privacy and ample space for luggage.
